Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois (CARLI)

The Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois (CARLI) is a collaborative organization that brings together academic and research libraries across Illinois. Its goal is to share resources, manage collective projects, and improve access to collections for member institutions. By working together, libraries can reduce costs, enhance services, and provide better access to books, journals, and digital resources for students, faculty, and researchers. Essentially, CARLI helps Illinois libraries operate more effectively by pooling their resources and expertise, benefiting the academic community and the broader public.
