WRLC Libraries

Since the UDC Library is a member of the Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC), UDC students, faculty, and staff can visit and borrow materials from the libraries at the eight other WRLC schools. When planning a visit to one of these institutions, it is recommended that you verify in advance the opening/closing hours and what privileges WRLC guests receive at that location.

Please be advised that reciprocal access does not apply to any of the affiliated law libraries, including that of the UDC David A. Clarke School of Law.
