Washington Research Libraries Consortium (WRLC)

The Washington Research Libraries Consortium (WRLC) is a regional resource-sharing organization established by eight universities in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area to expand and enhance the information resources available to their students and faculty.

The combined holdings of the WRLC libraries total more than 5 million volumes, over 37,000 serial subscriptions, plus a wide variety of electronic journals, electronic books, and other online resources, microforms, nonprint media, manuscripts, rare books and special collections. You may search the holdings of the consortium through the WRLC Libraries Catalog.

The member institutions are:

American University The Catholic University
Gallaudet University George Mason University
The George Washington University Georgetown University Library
Marymount University The University of the District of Columbia
Trinity College (partial member)  

American University students may:

  • Check out books at any of the consortium libraries using their AU ID. Always take your AU ID with you when you visit another WRLC Library.
  • Use the Consortium Loan Service (CLS) to borrow books and get articles from other WRLC schools.
  • Use the special collections and online databases on site at another WRLC library.
  • Check materials out of the WRLC Center, our shared off-site storage facility.
