Center for Research Libraries (CRL)

Brief Description

The Center for Research Libraries (CRL) is a consortium of North American universities, colleges and independent research libraries. The consortium acquires and preserves newspapers, journals, documents, archives and other traditional and digital resources for research and teaching. These resources are then made available to member institutions cooperatively, through interlibrary loan and electronic delivery.

The objectives of economical storage, preservation and increased availability of infrequently-used materials remain the primary objectives of the Center for Research Libraries.
