From Graffiti: A Claremont Colleges Library in the Midwest
A Claremont Colleges Library in the Midwest
One of the Claremont Colleges Libraries’ greatest resources for primary documents is not located any where near Claremont, but lies almost 1800 miles away, in Chicago, the Center For Research Libraries (CRL). CRL is a library cooperative that houses materials held by few other libraries in North America. Such resources as older and current foreign newspapers, dissertations from foreign universities, government documents from around the world, rarer journals and magazines, and microform sets focusing on everything from missionaries to labor organizations in South Africa during apartheid are available to students, faculty, and staff by virtue of the Libraries’ CRL membership. There are two major ways of exploring CRL’s holdings—by clicking on the Center for Research Libraries button after you’ve done a search in Blais or by visiting the CRL website. There you can find the CRL catalog as well as topic guides and databases designed to locate specific types of items among holdings such as foreign and ethnic newspapers. CRL materials can be requested through the Libraries’ Interlibrary Loan. CRL also offers a growing number of digital collections, available from their website.— Adam Rosenkranz,
Reference Librarian/Bibliographer
