These consortia can include academic, public, special, and school libraries. By pooling their resources and negotiating collectively, libraries within a consortium can offer their users a wider range of materials, databases, and services than they could individually. Common activities of library consortia include:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Resource Sharing:<\/strong> Facilitating the borrowing and lending of materials among member libraries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Collective Purchasing:<\/strong> Negotiating group discounts on electronic resources, software, and other library materials.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Advocacy:<\/strong> Representing the interests of member libraries to government bodies, publishers, and other stakeholders.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Besides SCELC, other examples of library consortia include OCLC (Online Computer Library Center), the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois (CARLI), and the Greater Western Library Alliance (GWLA).<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"benefits\">Faculty Benefits<\/h2>\n<p>Through consortia, faculty gain access to a broader range of books, journals, databases, and other materials that may not be available within their home institution&#8217;s library. This expanded access supports their research, teaching, and scholarship.<\/p>\n\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"relative mt-48 md:mt-72\">\n  <div class=\"absolute top-128 bottom-0 left-0 w-full bg-gray\"><\/div>\n  <div class=\"container relative pb-80 md:pb-112\">\n    <div class=\"px-24\">\n      <div class=\"bg-red py-48 md:py-64 relative px-24 sm:px-40 text-white rounded-5 md:rounded-8 md:text-center overflow-hidden\">\n                <div class=\"relative\">\n                      <h2 class=\"t-h2-sans  block text-white\">Contact us<\/h2>\n                                          <ul class=\"md:flex md:flex-wrap md:justify-center md:items-center md:mt-32\">\n              \t\t\t\t                        <li class=\"block md:mx-8 mt-32 md:mt-20\">\n                  <a class=\"cta-pill cta-pill--yellow w-full md:min-w-208\" href=\"tel:909-469-5323\">909-469-5323<\/a>                <\/li>\n\t\t\t\t                      \t\t\t\t                        <li class=\"block md:mx-8 mt-20\">\n                  <a class=\"cta-pill cta-pill--yellow w-full md:min-w-208\" href=\"mailto:circ@westernu.edu\">circ@westernu.edu<\/a>                <\/li>\n\t\t\t\t                      \t\t\t\t                        <li class=\"block md:mx-8 mt-20\">\n                  <a class=\"cta-pill cta-pill--yellow w-full md:min-w-208\" href=\"https:\/\/westernu.libanswers.com\/chat\/widget\/e26414f3aba2789f365e3af2f69da2ea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chat with a Librarian<\/a>                <\/li>\n\t\t\t\t                                  <\/ul>\n                  <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":11,"menu_order":64,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-23","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8572,"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23\/revisions\/8572"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
