Research : Activities : SHARES

SHARES Program

SHARES began as a collaborative effort of RLG over 20 years ago and is still going strong today. It enables participating institutions to agree on prices, procedures and policies; monitor their own performance; and manage work flow to support increased lending activities. In addition, this program gives each participant's faculty, students and staff on-site access to collections and services at the other SHARES institutions. This international sharing partnership—together with technology supplied by OCLC Research—expands and enhances local collections with materials owned by partners around the world.

SHARES is managed by the SHARES Executive Group. OCLC Research Library Partnership is a prerequisite to joining SHARES.
