This can be local or regional, a subject orientation, or through a union catalogue. The maximum of institutions that can form a cluster is fifteen. If further cluster libraries are required, these may be allowed at a cost of 500 Euros a year. text/html 2025-11-11T13:55:59+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cerl.org/membership/application_procedure?rev=1762869359&do=diff Application procedure Membership of CERL You are invited to contact the Secretariat to discuss an application for membership of the Consortium. * The Letter of Application for [Single Membership] or [Special Membership] of CERL summarises the principal benefits and commitments which members of the Consortium enter into on signing the letter. text/html 2021-10-13T07:18:16+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cerl.org/membership/benefits?rev=1634109496&do=diff Benefits of Membership The Consortium shares resources and expertise between research libraries and the research community to enhance access to the European printed and written heritage as well as its exploitation and preservation.
