CARLI Members

CARLI serves over 94% of Illinois higher education students, faculty and staff at 153 member institutions. Among the many benefits of CARLI membership are the I-Share integrated library system that serves 76 institutions; E-resources brokering, with over 2500 discounted subscriptions to electronic journals and other resources in fiscal year 2011; the Illinois Library Delivery Service (ILDS), offering 24-hour delivery among 141 CARLI libraries and all of the state’s regional library systems; and the Book Digitization Initiative, a partnership with the Open Content Alliance to provide a digitization opportunity for Illinois academic and research libraries.

New initiatives at CARLI include in-house development on the VuFind open source front end to the I-Share catalog; and participation in the University of Rochester’s eXtensible Catalog project.

Eligible institutions that have not joined CARLI may participate in CARLI email discussion lists, and may attend CARLI training events, and workshops. An event registration fee may be required.
