What if you could offer your patrons access to 7 million books with the click of a mouse? Imagine an easy patron-initiated resource-sharing service with visible shelf status. Other states have done it, and Indiana can too!

MCLS Executive Director Randy Dykhuis and other MCLS staff are scheduled to present at four of the Indiana Library Federation (ILF) District Conferences this spring.  Randy’s program, “Dare to Dream! Statewide Multi-type Resource Sharing is Within Your Reach,” will focus on the possibility of a patron-initiated multitype resource-sharing service for Indiana libraries. We encourage Indiana librarians to attend this session to learn what can be done and to share your thoughts on the steps  to make this dream a reality for Indiana libraries.
