About the Association of Research Libraries

ARL is a not-for-profit membership organization comprising the leading research libraries in North America.

The Association articulates the concerns of research libraries and their institutions, forges coalitions, influences information policy development, and supports innovation and improvements in research library operations. ARL operates as a forum for the exchange of ideas and as an agent for collective action. There are currently more than 120 members.
