How to join
Any academic library within New York State is encouraged to join the IDS Project. There are no fees associated with membership; however, members must subscribe to OCLC and the ILLiad Resource Sharing Management system, and join the Nylink LAND delivery system.
All members sign a contract agreeing to adhere to the performance standards and required procedures of the Project.
All members sign the Nylink Permission for Data Release Form, which allows access to data for diagnostic and mentoring purposes.
