Resource Sharing
The Libraries’ consortial agreements and resource sharing services expand access to material beyond the Libraries’ current collections. The Libraries borrow and lend materials through Interlibrary Loan as a reciprocal free lender and participate in the ConnectNY consortium to share print and digital collections with other academic libraries in New York state. Availability and use of these services inform acquisitions and assessment decisions. Borrowing requests are reviewed to identify potential purchases and the holdings of consortial partners are a factor in assessment.
