Cut Costs or Cut Services, the Choice is Yours
As USA federal IMLS and LSTA funding comes under threat, libraries across the country are facing hard choices. Soutron Global, a leader in SaaS-based information, library, archive, museum management and resource-sharing systems, is stepping in with game-changing offers that promise to slash ILL/Resource Sharing costs, ensuring libraries can continue to thrive despite financial constraints.
“Libraries that use SHAREit report that they receive better ILL/Resource Sharing functionality as other interlibrary loan solutions at a lower cost,” states Tony Saadat, President and CEO of Soutron Global. “Plus, SHAREit SaaS fees are competitive with third-party add-on open-source support packages, without the inherent open-source interoperability and security headaches.”

We offer a strategic solution to maintain essential ILL services without breaking the bank. We’re ready to discuss how SHAREit can be your financial lifeline.”
Why pay more? Key ways SHAREit helps libraries save money and increase services include:
