CRL Overview:
Pepperdine Libraries, along with more than 200 libraries in the U.S., Canada, India, Germany and Hong Kong, are a member of the Center for Research Libraries (CRL). CRL is a non-profit international consortium of university, college, and independent research libraries.
Pepperdine's membership provides free access to CRL's collections via interlibrary loan. Members of the Pepperdine community (students, faculty, and staff) can request unlimited items from the collection; loan periods are six months and borrowers have unlimited renewals unless the item has been recalled by CRL.
The Center for Research Libraries provides access to vast collections and electronic resources:
- Approximately five million items, including the largest circulating collection of newspapers in North America, 38,000 foreign journals and 800,000 foreign dissertations. Major microfilm and paper collections from Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, Europe, South Asia, Southeast Asia; and more.
- No-cost document delivery of articles from the Linda Hall Library of Science, Engineering and Technology's extensive collection of serials.
- Online access to the LLMC-Digital database of over 51 million pages and 100,000 volumes of at-risk primary legal and government publications.
- Demand purchases: CRL purchases materials at no charge on request for researchers (maximum of $2,000/researcher per year) in three areas: foreign dissertations, newspapers, and archival materials.
- Individualized consultations on research materials available through CRL’s User Services Liaison.
