Council on Library and Information Resources

The Council on Library and Information Resources, partnering with the Council of Independent Colleges, will team to build the skills of liberal arts college librarians working in institutions belonging to organizations such as the Appalachian College Association and the United Negro College Fund, as well as other colleges and universities serving predominantly minority and underserved student bodies. These institutions provide vital educational opportunities for tens of thousands of college students nationwide and form an important and largely underfunded resource to underserved populations in both poor urban and more rural and thinly populated sections of the United States.
