This white paper calls for a series of changes to improve resource sharing in the state of Indiana. These changes include; making rare and scarcely held resources such as local history discoverable; making Indiana Evergreen's collections discoverable and requestable by other libraries; implementing recommendations on membership in Indiana Share; adherence to best practices for resource sharing; and, recognizing that the population is mobile and that users of public libraries may also be users of academic libraries that a common brand for resource sharing be created to help users find the service at all their libraries.
