My Exchange, Needs and Offers Repository, and Advanced Search

There are three places in FDLP eXchange where you can go to look at needs and offers: My eXchange; Needs and Offers Repository; and Advanced Search. Each of these has a different function and provides access to different items.

My eXchange allows you to see your own needs, offers, and requests. You will only see your own items here.

Needs and Offers Repository allows you to see other libraries’ needs and offers. You will not see your own items here. You will also never see any offers that are not currently available to you

Advanced Search allows you to search all needs and offers, whether your own or other libraries’. You can search here for everything, or you can limit your search to your own library or your own region. As with the Needs and Offers Repository, you will not see anything in Advanced Search that is not available to you.
