Resource Sharing

In May 1992 the Arizona State Library, selected OCLC/AMIGOS Group Access Capability (GAC) to establish a statewide database. The purpose of this was to enable the libraries to know what was available in the network of public, academic and special libraries and to facilitate Interlibrary Loans. This database was called AZNET. AZNET has grown steadily over the years; at present there are 34 full OCLC/AMIGOS members and 50 selective users.

Library Development Division encourages rural libraries to be a part of AZNET and assists in retro-conversion of existing catalogs and each year rewards net-lenders (those who lend more than they borrow). LDD also coordinates and supports the statewide online Arizona Network (AZNET) to help connect 84 libraries to the national library network WORLDCAT, to facilitate inter-library loan of books and magazine articles.
