Faculty/Staff Access to Research Libraries

Did you know that Muhlenberg College’s membership in the Pennsylvania Academic Library Consortium (PALCI) allows faculty and staff to visit and borrow directly from several larger research libraries in PA and NJ? To take advantage of this direct borrowing program, visit our own library’s Circulation Desk and fill out a form to present at the participating research library.

Here are the larger libraries (in addition to many smaller ones) that you can visit and borrow directly from:

  • Carnegie Mellon
  • Drexel
  • Lehigh
  • Penn State
  • Pittsburgh
  • Rutgers
  • Temple
  • Villanova
