    Amazing database and sharing management

    Date: Sep 14 2021

    Summary: Despite our struggles, this is such an invaluable tool at our disposal. They constantly fulfill our needs and help us get materials that we'd never have access to personally.

    Positive: Being accessible between global libraries is an amazing tool, and the sharing of MARCs and interlibrary loans is something that cannot be beat.

    Negative: Expensive to access, they failed to properly handle our billing and has led to a long financial battle.
