2025 PASCAL Member Conference

Libraries have been providing information and resources for centuries. Innovations in libraries have improved the ability of libraries to broaden the capabilities of resource sharing, which has increased libraries relying on these services to supplement their budgets. Though resource sharing libraries are expanding access to information that would not usually be available. The innovations in Interlibrary Loan Systems and the introduction of AI have made a big impact on resource sharing. The purpose of this proposal is to provide information and strategies to show how resource sharing can open resources and develop collaborative communities but also not overwhelm already overloaded staff. It will also touch on how AI is affecting resource sharing.
