  4. What is WRLC ? http://www.wrlc.org/

  5. In the Beginning • The Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC) was established in 1987 by some of the major universities in the Washington D.C. area to share library collections and information technology in order to enhance the resources available to their students and faculty.

  10. DIGITAL LIBRARY SYSTEM • Shared union catalog for the eight member universities representing over 7 million volumes • Digital images and audio of unique primary source materials from WRLC special collections • Millions of licensed online articles (mostly full-image or full-text, some as citations with abstracts) available for display, printing, or email

  16. Offsite Storage • WRLC operates a shared offsite storage facility designed to free valuable space in the campus libraries for newer or more frequently-accessed materials.

  17. How do I get these items? • Students and faculty of WRLC libraries may submit online requests for items stored at the "WRLC Center" using the ALADIN library catalog's Request feature. Materials requested by 5 pm are delivered to the library the next business day.
