Get Involved

It is important to note that “Project Reshare” is both the name of the product and also the name of our community. It is an organization designed “for us, by us” and promotes collaboration toward developing user-friendly solutions for resource sharing. The project grows from this  engagement by members’ active participation in this grassroots-style platform development. The resulting product expedites access to information, housed at numerous member institutions, in a way that has been designed by the members with their needs guiding the design process.
