The University of Pennsylvania has recently joined CIFNAL (Collaborative Initiative for French Language Collections) as the 29th institutional member.  CIFNAL, part of the CRL Global Resources Network, was established in 2006 to promote and facilitate the exchange of ideas and resources between Francophone and North American research libraries.  CIFNAL is open to institutional and individual members in all world regions.

CRL’s cooperative programs enhance the ability of CRL libraries to identify, access, and preserve valuable source materials for scholarly research.
