Rethinking Resource Sharing.
Inspiring Librarians. Empowering People.

The Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative is an ad hoc group that advocates for a revolution in the way libraries conduct resource sharing. The group has written a Manifesto for Resource Sharing, which outlines a set of principles that support more open resource sharing.

To help encourage creative thinking related to resource sharing, the group is sponsoring three Rethinking Resource Sharing Innovation Awards in 2008. Each Award recipient will receive a $1,000 USD cash award. The application deadline is May 15, 2008.
