The Oakland Library Consortium strives to maximize all possible benefits that accrue from close physical proximity of its three member libraries. The primary goals of the OLC are access, delivery, and information resource management. Access is the identification of both what and where information is available and the physical access to collections. Access should be open, efficient, and barrier-free for our users.
Delivery is on-demand fulfillment of requests for books, journals or articles, electronic data, etc.
We are committed to identify information without regard to location or format in support of our mission and to pursue opportunities for shared collection development. The members of the Oakland Library Consortium are the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University Libraries, and the University Library System of The University of Pittsburgh. All are major research libraries located in the Oakland section of the city of Pittsburgh.
