Center for Research Libraries: a valuable resource
The Center for Research Libraries (CRL) is a non-profit consortium of colleges, universities and libraries that aims at acquiring and making available important but relatively rarely used materials in support of teaching and research. Its outstanding collections include over four million newspapers, journals, dissertations, archives, government publications and other traditional and digital resources. Because the University Libraries have membership in CRL, the University of Connecticut students, faculty, and staff may borrow these collections through Interlibrary Loan. For more information, see: http://www.lib.uconn.edu/online/services/crl/crl.htm
