Bernie Reilly, President of the Center for Research
Libraries, spent last Wednesday with UK librarians discussing a wide range of research
library issues. His presentation, Future
of Primary Sources for Research,
reviewed the work of CRL in preserving unique collections from around the world
and the impact of those collections on research. Reilly also met during the day with
collection liaisons and faculty and staff involved with interlibrary loans.
“The Center for Research Libraries
(CRL) is an international consortium of university, college, and independent
research libraries. Founded in 1949, CRL supports advanced research and
teaching in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences by preserving and
making available to scholars the primary source material critical to those
disciplines.”
“CRL acquires and preserves
newspapers, journals, documents, archives, and other traditional and digital
resources from a global network of sources. Most materials acquired are from
outside the United States, and many are from five “emerging” regions of the
world: Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Latin America.”
