The Information Delivery Services (IDS) Network, based in New York, is a national, mutually supportive resource-sharing cooperative whose 120 members include public and private academic libraries from across the country, the New York Public Library, and the New York State Library (view a list of current members). The IDS Network is based on a strong sense of community among its members and a unified collection perspective. The major goal of the Network is to continually implement and objectively evaluate innovative resource-sharing strategies, policies and procedures that will optimize mutual access to the information resources of all IDS Network libraries. Member libraries sign annual contracts committing to a common set of performance standards.
