Library of Congress Joins CIRLA

The Library of Congress has joined the Chesapeake Information Resource Library Alliance (of which Georgetown is a founding member), raising the total number of CIRLA institutions to eight. Besides Georgetown, members now include the University of Delaware, Johns Hopkins University, Howard University, the Library of Congress, the University of Maryland, the National Agricultural Library, and the Smithsonian Institution Libraries. All members of CIRLA give on-site privileges to faculty members from other CIRLA institutions and provide reciprocal borrowing privileges for graduate students. The Library of Congress will provide interlibrary lending for other CIRLA institutions on a peer basis; with other libraries, LC acts as a "library of last resort," lending material only when no other source is available.
