Where is the data drawn from?
Currently most data is derived from an annual survey of EAST libraries' resource sharing contacts. For Alma libraries that have the information in the Resource Sharing Directory, this data is pulled into the EAST directory on a quarterly basis.
How often is this updated?
Data from the ExLibris Resource Sharing Directory is updated quarterly (Jan/April/July/October). Other data is pulled from an annual survey conducted by EAST each summer. HOWEVER, if you wish to update your own library's data, you may do so at any time by following the links off of https://eastlibraries.org/member-resources/resource-sharing-directory-edit-urls/. Contact info@eastlibraries.org for the password.
What technology is being used to create this directory?
The directory is implemented on the AppSheet platform. Users of this app are also subject to the terms of service of the AppSheet platform.
