Descripción
Resumen:	In partnership with Minnesota's Metropolitan Library Service Agency (MELSA), 3M has developed CloudLink, a new feature for its ebook lending system for consortia. Many consortial arrangements involve member libraries contributing ebooks to a common pool that patrons from all libraries can use. In addition to this functionality, CloudLink enables any patron from any MELSA library to check out ebooks from the private collections of any other MELSA library, provided a holds list does not exist there for the title.
