The New York Three Rs
Association (NY3Rs ByLaws) is
composed of the nine Reference and Research Library Resources
multi-type systems in New
York State.
- Members include both
individual libraries - academic, special, hospital libraries, and
public libraries- and other library systems. All the public and
school library systems in the state are members of their regional
NY3Rs.
- The key mission of the
NY3Rs is to ensure and support interlibrary sharing of resources
- print and electronic - among all kinds of libraries and to ensure
equal access to information for all New Yorkers.
- The NY3Rs provide a
range of support services to our members - continuing education,
access to electronic resources, services to the health care community,
consulting, digitizing, information technologies, and advocacy.
- The NY3Rs do
collectively what their constituent libraries and library systems cannot
do individually, or what can be done better together.
- By identifying
resources and developing structure and mechanisms for sharing those
resources among users of all types of libraries, the NY3Rs open worlds
of knowledge and information to millions of students, teachers,
researchers, and citizens from all walks of life and economic
backgrounds.
- Each NY3Rs is governed
by a locally elected Board of Trustees and has substantial input from
member libraries through a robust committee structure. Each NY3rs
receives operating and special program aid from the Sate of New York but
also has other sources of locally generated funds.
