CRL member libraries are committed to the long-term integrity and accessibility of information. Since 1949, membership in the Center for Research Libraries has empowered academic and research libraries to advance collection building beyond the capacity of any single institution. CRL member libraries work together to identify, preserve and acquire critical resources for advanced research and teaching.
CRL Library Catalog is the Center Research Libraries’ online catalog, and it serves as a powerful tool for finding information about the unique collections here.
