Research Libraries Group SHARES program

The AUS Library is a member of the Research Libraries Group (RLG) SHARES program. As a SHARES member, AUS faculty, staff and students have ONSITE access to member institutions and will be given the same degree of access to collections and services as the institution provides for its own communities. Member institutions include Yale, Columbia, University of Toronto, University of Glasgow, NYU, Stanford and Princeton, to name a few. Click here for a complete list.  

“I just wanted to thank you for having AUS participate in the inter-library SHARES program.  I spent my summer in New York City and I was so pleased that I could use NYU’s facilities for free due to AUS’s participation in this program.  I will make sure to let other faculty members in my department know about it…it is money well spent!”  SBM professor
