The City University of New York (CUNY) uses an Automated Fulfillment Network (AFN) to manage resource sharing (RS) among our 21 member institutions. In January 2024, CUNY began sharing physical resources with The State University of New York (SUNY), which uses the Peer-to-Peer resource sharing model. The integration between these two models was not perfect but CUNY managed to find solutions that required minimal compromise to streamline access to SUNY's physical resources. Learn about the issues CUNY faced, discover how CUNY overcame them, and discuss whether sharing resources between mixed RS model institutions is worth some sacrifice.
