Note from the Coordinator
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a blessed Christmas. As we start 2026, may we continue to hold tight to the hand of Christ whose birth we recently celebrated.
We are also excited to start the year by sharing news of a new partnership with InterVarsity Press. Details are below.

CLC Team Coordinator
Keep your CLC Membership in Good Standing
As we start a new calendar year, don’t forget that CLC Institutional Memberships require at least one full ACL Individual Member at the institution. All 2025 individual memberships expired on December 31, 2025.
-
Returning individual members: Please renew your membership through the MY ACCOUNT section of the ACL website.
-
New individual members: Visit the ACL membership wepage to review all of the ALC membership details, then click on the “Join ACL” button. Be sure to select the first-time member rate of $40.
If your institution has had any staff transitions and your previous full member has moved on, now is an ideal time to update this so your CLC participation continues without interruption.
If you have questions about your membership status or eligibility, please contact Linda Tse, our Membership Specialist. She is happy to assist and provide information on your institution’s current standing.
Clarivate (Proquest) is one of our newer vendor partners. They are offering new subscribers to Proquest Dissertations & Theses Global or Proquest Religion Database a 15% discount off the list price. Visit the CLC Offers & Discounts page for contact information for this offer.
InterVarsity Press, a valued publisher of Christian books, with an extensive catalog of academic titles, is offering CLC member libraries a special 50% discount on their front-and back-list titles. Free shipping is available to members in the US.
IVP utilizes Longleaf Services as their fulfillment partner. To take advantage of the discount, CLC members will need to fill out a form to get an institutional account set up with Longleaf. Please visit the IVP CLC offer page for additional details and a link to the Longleaf application.
