Resource Sharing

           

The Network has a long history of facilitating resource sharing within the seven-county service area. HOBO, the region’s first email system, began in 1988, and NORPAC, the region’s first electronic union catalog, was initially published in 1994.

The Network currently provides ICEPAC, a web-based catalog of more than 3 million holdings, and ICICILL, a web-based interlibrary loan system.

Other resource sharing applications provided by the Network include Ariel, union listing, and FirstSearch Group Access.

• ICEPAC is the North Country's cooperative online catalog. It contains the holdings information of 305 libraries in Clinton, Essex, Franklin, St. Lawrence, Lewis, Jefferson, and Oswego counties.
• ICICILL is the NNY Library Network's interlibrary loan module. It is a full-featured web-based interlibrary loan management system which allows libraries to make requests to other Northern New York libraries and to track the status of those requests at any time. ILLiad: Seven member libraries are now using
• ILLiad as a resource sharing integration tool.
