Want to see the ReShare Returnables software in action? Project ReShare has launched a new product demo environment where users can browse consortial holdings and explore the process of creating and filling requests.

Because ReShare is a peer-to-peer resource sharing network, you’ll need to access multiple systems to see the environment working fully. We have provided a VuFind site where users can place requests, along with ReShare tenants for two fictional universities so that users can pass requests back and forth.

You can find more information about the demo environment at https://projectreshare.org/products/product-demo.

We’ve also provided a demo script to help you get started: https://projectreshare.org/products/product-demo/script.

For questions about the demo or to report a problem, please contact Kristen Wilson, ReShare project manager, at kristen@indexdata.com.
