About Center for Research Libraries
In July 1991 the Libraries of the Claremont Colleges became a participating
member of
The Center
for Research Libraries (CRL), an organization whose purpose is to make
available to the scholarly community materials that are rarely held in
North American libraries. The Center's collection of over 3.6 million volumes
and 1.1 microforms include strengths in the following areas: the largest
collection of foreign doctoral dissertations in the world (more than 638,000);
more than 19,000 currently received serial titles; more than 60,000 titles
in microform and reprint; more than 5,200 backfiles of foreign newspapers
and 2,000 backfiles of U.S. newspapers; current subscriptions to about
140 U.S. newspapers and 328 foreign newspapers; plus almost 350,000 monographs
representing strong collections in area studies, personal and institutional
archives, and government documents.
Access to CRL materials is a research service provided by the Libraries
of the Claremont Colleges for faculty, staff and students of the Claremont
Colleges. The materials at CRL are available for extended loan periods
through Honnold/Mudd's Interlibrary Loan Department. Contact the department
at (909) 621-8352 for details. Under CRL's demand/purchase program, requests
for acquiring materials that fall within its collection policy guidelines
will be considered. For information on the purchase program, contact your
subject bibliographer.
