SHAREit Tip:
Are the Holdings for Your Library Up To Date?
If your institution participates in the Union Catalog (you actually upload your records to SHAREit), make sure you are uploading AT LEAST once per year. Twice is better. If you are unsure as to the last time you uploaded, reach out to us and we will check for you.

Use SHAREit via Z39.50 rather than as a Union Catalog participant? The latest version of the Z39.50 settings can be found here: https://powerlibrary.org/librarians/statewide-catalog/z39-50-searching-info/
