Auto-Graphics, Inc. announced that since deploying SHAREit, with participation approaching 1,500 libraries, AccessPA has seen dramatic results that have significantly freed up staff time and provided cost savings to the library. Switching to the SHAREit ILL platform offered Access PA an upgrade to a more modern and interface for end users with greater search functionality, a more flexible and efficient ILL system, complete with an ILLL solution for Pennsylvania's 24 correctional institutions, and an increasingly accurate and authoritative union database—significantly enhancing statewide ILL services. The old system had 22 million bibs and 44 million items. SHAREit has 8.5 million bibs and 44 million items. With the clean new catalog database, interlibrary loan fulfillment reached new levels of performance, up to the present 81-83%.
