Auto-Graphics, Inc. announced that ACCESSPA, a hybrid catalog containing the collections of thousands of Pennsylvania public, K12, academic and special libraries, reported a 30% increase over their old fulfillment rate and reduced MARC record duplication by 62% in just the first year after switching to Auto-Graphics’ SHAREit™, an interlibrary loan (ILL) and consortial borrowing solution. SHAREit is a hybrid resource sharing solution that allows for traditional Interlibrary Loan (ILL) and Integrated Library System (ILS) workflow to co-exist. This open platform provides a tremendous advantage for libraries by facilitating interconnectivity of disparate systems, presenting consortia the ability to simultaneously interface with multiple ILL and resource sharing systems to support efficient request generation and fulfillment. Auto-Graphics was chosen by the Health Sciences Libraries Consortium (HSLC) following a competitive process in 2015 to provide a modern and feature rich interface for end users with greater search functionality, a more flexible and efficient ILL system, and an increasingly accurate and authoritative union database to significantly enhance the statewide ILL services of ACCESSPA for its over 2,500 participating public, K-12, academic, special libraries, and state corrections facilities, which are supported with an offline version of SHAREit.
