The Indiana Share program allows a large variety of libraries from around the state to request interlibrary loan materials through the Indiana State Library using ILLiad software. State Library staff submit the interlibrary loan requests on behalf of the requesting libraries.
Lending libraries that accept the requests ship the materials to requesting libraries via InfoExpress or library-rate postage.
