From RLG's inception, members have focused on identifying and resolving challenges to collections for research and learning that cannot be addressed successfully by a single institution.
Collective action draws on an international spectrum of individual institutional strengths.

By joining RLG, institutions gain access to a range of services as well as help in developing new ones.
