Check Your Information in SHAREit, the Access Pennsylvania Catalog
Participate in ILL? 
Take a look at your Participant Record in SHAREit and make sure it’s current. Participant Record documentation is available if you need a refresher. (If prompted for a password, it is the usual password for the For Librarians Hub. If you need it, please let us know!)

At a different school this year? 
Please let us know so we can verify that your school’s SHAREit notifications come to you. 

Did you export your holdings at the end of last year? 
If not, now is a great time to do so! Unsure how? Let us know and we’ll get you the documentation and login credentials you need.

On the Access PA Contacts e-mail list?
All staff who perform ILL activity should be on the Access PA Contacts e-mail list to ensure they are notified when there are system updates, issues, etc. If you need to be added to the list, please let us know!
