The new document has been approved by RUSA and the STARS Executive Committee and is now available online.
This guideline defines the professional competencies important for resource sharing practitioners and can be used in staff training, preparation/review of position descriptions, preparing job applications, and/or conducting performance evaluations/goal setting.
The RUSA STARS Codes, Guidelines, and Technical Standards Committee wishes to thank everyone in the interlibrary loan community who provided feedback during the public comment period in Fall 2023.

Librarians love to help people (and that includes other librarians), so joining STARS is a great way to learn more resource sharing in a helpful, collaborative environment.

STARS is the best professional organization where interlibrary loan practitioners from all different types and sizes of libraries can come together to discuss common problems, share solutions, and shape the future of resource sharing.
