What is the Center for Research Libraries?
Center for Research Libraries logoThe Center for Research Libraries (CRL) is a centralized collection of scholarly research materials in all disciplines. CRL is an international not-for-profit consortium of colleges, universities and libraries that makes available scholarly research resources to users. Its outstanding collections include more than 4.5 million volumes of research materials rarely held in North American libraries. CRL offers large collections of foreign dissertations, newspapers, and microfilm sets. Because the University Libraries has a membership in CRL, University of Manitoba students, faculty, and staff may borrow these collections through Document Delivery.
The Center for Research Libraries is a cooperative research library and depository located in Chicago. CRL holds specialized and rare materials that complement and supplement the collections of its member libraries, including books, journals, newspapers, archives, and microform sets. OhioLINK libraries participate in a group membership in CRL. Cataloged CRL books are found in the OhioLINK catalog, with the location code Ctr Research Lib. These materials may be circulated through the standard OhioLINK online borrowing procedures, but may take an extra day or two to arrive. CRL also holds many items that are not in the catalog, including state documents of all U.S. states, college catalogs, textbooks, and foreign dissertations. Loans of such noncataloged items can be arranged through the interlibrary loan staff of your library.
