IDS Project/SUNY Geneseo

IDS Project's CrossLink is a middleware server-based solution that allows for discovery and availability lookups across multiple cataloging systems and provides a connection between the borrowing and lending libraries’ resource sharing systems, regardless of which types they are. This brokering system will allow libraries that have become siloed due to cost cutting and reduction in use of resource sharing systems to maintain services to their patrons while sharing their materials with other libraries.

CrossLink will allow libraries to maintain access to other consortia and systems without the costs of maintaining multiple systems through an ISO 18626 broker. Additionally, the CrossLink Discovery System will allow libraries with no union catalog to finally have one.
