The IDS Project is excited to invite attendees to our Fall User Group Sessions! A day of training, discussion, and collaboration can aid in the essential service we provide to our students and patrons. We encourage all Interlibrary Loan/Resource Sharing staff that work daily to provide resources to other libraries and from other libraries to attend and immerse yourself in the IDS Project community. A few of the topics of the meeting will include the Ex Libris Alma Resource Sharing module and the IDS Article Gateway.
