Alliance membership is open to any NWCCU-accredited associate, baccalaureate, masters, or doctorate granting, public or private non-profit academic institution in Oregon, Washington, or Idaho (institutions in contiguous areas that can fully participate in the consortium may be considered on a case-by-case basis). Institutions not eligible for full membership may still participate in the Alliance’s archives & manuscripts, courier, and electronic resources programs.Â
Members use a shared library management system and discovery interface (SILS), currently based on Ex Libris Alma and Primo; participate in resource sharing between members facilitated by a courier system; collectively acquire and license electronic resources; and contribute time and expertise to the consortium’s programs.
Members may opt in or out of other services that are determined by the Board of Directors to be opt-in (e.g., most database purchases, additional courier drop sites, participation in the Archives & Manuscripts service).
The Alliance is currently accepting membership applications. See Membership Criteria & Application
