Connect NY Termination

Throughout this past year, RIT Libraries have regularly informed the RIT Community that the Connect NY consortium will cease to exist at the end of this fiscal year, with the service being discontinued as of June 14th, 2024.

Despite this, IDS Express (Interlibrary Loan) will continue to operate as RIT’s resource-sharing request platform, ensuring the same level of reliability and access to resources. Items currently borrowed through Connect NY will not be disrupted or recalled, and no fines will be accrued.

Renewals on these items will not be permitted after June 14th. A seamless transition process is in place for those requiring longer use of items borrowed through Connect NY, allowing for easy transfer to IDS Express. For any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
