Triangle Research Libraries Network

The consortium known today as the Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN) started with a collaboration betwen Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the 1930s to share the development of their respective collections. North Carolina State College began participating in these cooperative collection development programs in the 1950s. In 1977, this group became known as the Triangle University Library Cooperative Committee (TULCC), and adopted the curent name of TRLN in the fall of 1980. North Carolina Central University joined the consortia in 1995, with the current mission of the TRLN continuing to be the joint development of collections and resources as shared between the four member libraries. Representatives from the North Carolina State University libraries (as well as from the three other member libraries) participate in various committees, subcommittees, task forces, and project groups for the joint TRLN efforts.
