Welcome to RSA Bookgroups
The Resource Sharing Alliance (RSA) is a consortium of libraries in Central Illinois that share a common library automation system. RSA facilitates sharing of materials among its member libraries providing you with access to materials from up to 193 different libraries. RSA's website is http://alsi.sdp.sirsi.net/client/RSAwebsite
