FYI. A notice about a forthcoming call to renew or cancel FREESHARE (posted on another listserv) is being re-shared below permission of Margot Malachowski, NNLM Region 7.
Per Margot, at this time, the purpose of this initiative is to clean up the FREESHARE database, to make sure that listed libraries are operational. Those interested in joining FREESHARE will be invited to do so after the member list clean-up (perhaps after March-April 2025).

Giving you a heads-up about the upcoming NNLM’s FREESHARE Renewal Form.
DOCLINE is an interlibrary loan routing system provided by the National Library of Medicine. FREESHARE is a DOCLINE Library Group. Libraries in this group are committed to lending to each other at no cost. This month, we will send an email to the contact email address for each member library. To keep FREESHARE routing efficient, we are asking each member library to renew or cancel their FREESHARE membership by Friday, February 28, 2025.
Renewing is required to continue to participate. Member libraries that do not respond by February 28, 2025, will be removed from FREESHARE.
Questions can be directed to the staff of NNLM Region 7. Region 7 manages FREESHARE for all DOCLINE libraries. Please contact me directly, at margot.malachowski@umassmed.edu, if you have any questions or concerns.
