This article describes the need for rethinking resource sharing to offer both library users and nonlibrary users options to obtain the material they seek from both libraries and commerical sources. The article discusses several programs that are emerging including the "GoGetter" function, the Rethinking Resource Sharing Manifesto, user needs, and delivery issues. Lastly, it suggests some ways that the participants could become involved and provide input to RethinkingResourceSharing.org. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
