About LCLC
We believe that library services represent a vital educational resource, and that the effective and proper utilization of information services and technology requires an organized and combined effort on the part of all types of educational agencies and libraries in the community.
Union List
The Consortium publishes an annual union list. The Union List of Periodicals contains periodical holdings of participating member libraries, which greatly facilitates referrals and interlibrary loans within the region. Additionally, the Union List includes a summary page of services available from each member library, associated service charges, facility hours, contact persons, addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers, and other pertinent library-specific information.Purpose
