Center for Research Libraries
The Center for Research Libraries (CRL) is an international consortium of university, college, and independent research libraries with a shared collection of five million books, journals, documents and newspapers. Digitized materials can be searched and accessed through the library's website. Physical materials can be borrowed via ILLiad, and in some cases, may be digitized on demand.
