Membership in the Association of Research Libraries is necessarily limited to research institutions sharing common values, goals, interests, and needs. See the ARL Principles of Membership for more information. Single institutions, not systems, form the membership base. A list of member institutions is available in this section of the Web site, as is information about becoming a member.
ARL's member representatives convene twice a year for their Membership Meeting. This section of the site provides the dates of future meetings as well as links to the proceedings from past meetings.
