The ReShare Story: Community Taking Control

When libraries faced marketplace consolidation and diminishing choices, the ReShare community responded by building the resource sharing platform they actually needed—owned by libraries, for libraries.

Community response to marketplace consolidation and vendor lock-in
Open-source platform owned by libraries, not corporations
Standards-based architecture (ISO18626) ensuring true interoperability
Growing success with 400+ libraries across multiple continents
Continuous innovation including ReShare Digital for eBook lending and CDL
