WorldCat Resource Sharing

When your library belongs to a sharing network, more people find the information they want. Because increasingly Internet-savvy users don't care where material "lives" but do care how fast they can access it, each resource that is quickly borrowed or loaned represents another satisfied customer—and one that your library, or another, could have lost.

When you're a part of WorldCat Resource Sharing, your ability to satisfy the next customer is unmatched, even if you're under a financial crunch. Composed of more than 7,500 libraries, the WorldCat Resource Sharing network has at its core the comprehensive WorldCat database. WorldCat's tens of millions of records represent library-owned resources—both physical and digital—that cross all manner of subjects, languages, cultures and uniqueness. You fill 95 percent or more of requests, reinforcing the perception of your library as a "one-stop" provider of essential services.
