Nylink, founded in 1973, is a nonprofit membership organization of all types of libraries and cultural heritage organizations throughout New York State and surrounding areas. Nylink facilitates collaboration and cooperation among its members, and supports access to high-quality, cost-effective resources that enable member institutions to enhance the services they provide to their constituents.

Mission
Building the information community through collaboration and innovation.

Members benefit from training and professional development, consulting, and comprehensive support provided by an experienced staff of experts in library services, technology and business; access to and support for OCLC products and services (cataloging, resource sharing, reference, digitization, collection development, and more); group purchasing opportunities that reduce costs; and eligibility to participate in LAND, a statewide ground delivery service.

Membership is at the institutional level and it benefits both the institution and the individuals who work there. Learn more about Nylink membership.

Nylink Connection, our quarterly newsletter, often highlights the latest projects and efforts at our members’ institutions.
