Center for Research Libraries

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 and makes them available to member institutions through interlibrary loan and electronic delivery.

CRL’s mission is to support advanced research and teaching in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences by ensuring the survival and availability of the knowledge resources vital to those activities. CRL accomplishes this mission through cooperative action with its member libraries and partners.

Because the Indiana University Libraries are members of this consortium, faculty and students at Indiana University have access to the rich collections held by CRL.  For more information on CRL's print and digital collections, visit:  http://wwwcrl.uchicago.edu/content.asp?l1=5&l2=23.
