Membership Agreement
PDF version of the Membership Agreement 
The mission of CARLI is to lead Illinois academic libraries to create and sustain a rich, supportive, and diverse knowledge environment that furthers teaching, learning, and research through the sharing of collections, expertise, and programs.
CARLI membership does not replace an institution’s obligation to maintain and enhance library collections, staff, and technological infrastructure, in order to meet the primary teaching, learning and research needs of its students, faculty, staff, and other principal clientele. Each member library retains autonomy over its staff, operations, and budget. However, participation in CARLI requires collaboration and commitment to the Consortium. In consideration for membership in CARLI, the institution agrees:
- To abide by the Bylaws of the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois and the common policies, protocols, rules and regulations adopted by the Consortium.
- To assume and pay promptly any and all financial obligations arising from membership and participation in services offered through the Consortium.
- To act in accordance with all terms and conditions of contractual agreements made by CARLI and its business and contractual agent, the University of Illinois, on behalf of member libraries, and to accept responsibility for the acts or omissions of its own employees related to such agreements.
- To freely and fairly share its information and library resources with the students, faculty and staff of other CARLI member institutions.
- To maintain current awareness of CARLI programs, services, technologies, policies, and best practices, in order to meet the library’s responsibilities to its fellow Consortium members.
- To play an active part in the Consortium, including the provision of consultation, advice and expertise to colleagues in other member libraries; support for staff participation in consortially provided forums, workshops, and continuing education opportunities; and support for appropriate staff to serve on CARLI committees, task forces and working groups.
Failure to comply with these terms and conditions may lead to the imposition of sanctions or membership termination as specified in the Consortium’s Bylaws, and other legal actions arising from the member library’s contractual obligations with vendors and service providers as may be appropriate.
