Christian Library Consortium (CLC)
The Christian Library Consortium was formed in 1991 with a threefold purpose:
- To promote sharing of resources between institutional members
- To provide other benefits (when possible)
- To help sponsor the activities of the association by paying dues
Benefits of CLC membership
- Resource sharing with other CLC members with the ability to participate in OCLC's access group, Christian Library Network (OCLC symbol CL@N)
- Annual library subscription to The Christian Librarian
- Vendor discounts with vendors such as Gaylord, Highsmith, Brodart
- Opportunity for your library or institution to present a research award to a deserving student each year
- Periodic resource sharing opportunities such as the purchase of the NetLibrary Religion collection
- Access to discounts on electronic resources from a variety of vendors through ACL's partnership with the Westchester Academic Library Directors Organization (WALDO)
Annual membership dues are based on an institution's FTE:
| Student FTE | Dues |
|---|---|
| FTE of less than 500 | $50 |
| FTE of 500-2,500 | $100 |
| FTE of over 2,500 | $150 |
