The records of the North Carolina State University Libraries' involvement in the Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN) include committee/subcommittee information and meeting minutes, correspondence, memoranda, manuals and information on training procedures, newsletters, and other general information about the committees, subcommittees, activities, and services of TRLN. Materials range in date from 1974 to 1997. The consortium known today as the Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN) started with a collaboration betwen Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the 1930s to share the development of their respective collections. North Carolina State College (now North Carolina State University) began participating in these cooperative collection development programs in the 1950s. In 1977, this group became known as the Triangle University Library Cooperative Committee (TULCC), and adopted the curent name of TRLN in the fall of 1980. North Carolina Central University joined the consortia in 1995, with the current mission of the TRLN continuing to be the joint development of collections and resources as shared between the four member libraries. Representatives from the North Carolina State University libraries (as well as from the three other member libraries) participate in various committees, subcommittees, task forces, and project groups for the joint TRLN efforts. The stated mission of the consortium is to marshal the financial, human, and information resources of their research libraries through cooperative efforts in order to create a rich and unparalleled knowledge environment that furthers the universities’ teaching, research, learning, and service missions (https://trln.org/, accessed 08/14/2020).
