Sharing and Transforming Access to Resources Section
Get Involved with RUSA STARS!
The majority of the committee and task force appointments are made in the spring by matching STARS members' interests and background with the section's needs. If you are interested in contributing your ideas and talent to a STARS committee, please contact Jennifer Young, ely@etsu.edu.
For more information about volunteering for RUSA and STARS, please visit our Volunteer page.
Keep the conversation going on ALA Connect
The ALA Connect discussion board is dedicated to issues relating to interlibrary loan, document delivery, remote circulation, access services, cooperative reference, cooperative collection development, remote storage, and other shared library services by members of RUSA-STARS. This discussion board is only open to RUSA-STARS members.

STARS is the best professional organization where interlibrary loan practitioners from all different types and sizes of libraries can come together to discuss common problems, share solutions, and shape the future of resource sharing.
