TRLN

TRLN, the Triangle Research Libraries Network, is the oldest academic library consortium in the United States. With member libraries including Duke University, North Carolina Central University, North Carolina State University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, TRLN offers a wide range of products and services to support research, scholarship, and knowledge sharing. One of TRLN's main priorities is collaborative collecting, aiming to develop a robust and accessible collection that takes advantage of its members' geographic proximity and showcases their unique strengths.

They also focus on reducing duplication of print collections and working towards online access to scholarship and digital resources. TRLN is also committed to sharing collections, scholarship, and knowledge among its member institutions and beyond. They implement tools and policies to facilitate material sharing, explore digital lending opportunities, and maintain and improve their shared index and discovery applications.

Additionally, TRLN is dedicated to building capacity by providing seminars, training, and professional development opportunities. They promote collaboration with educational institutions and actively work towards increasing diversity and representation in academic libraries. Overall, TRLN strives to promote openness, diversity, equity, and accessibility while making data-informed decisions and contributing to global efforts to transform scholarly communication
