The Reprints Desk Cloud App is finally here and functional. The app gives Resource Sharing staff the ability to purchase articles from Reprints Desk to immediately pay copyright on the request and get a copy for the patron as quickly as possible. This page details how to set up the app. For information on how to use the app please see the Reprints Desk Cloud App Workflow.
