Systemwide Digital Library Content

The Systemwide Digital Library Content (SDLC) team manages the contracting of electronic information resources in support of the CSU’s academic mission.

SDLC is one of the most successful models for shared acquisition of electronic information in the nation. Established in 1989, and sponsored by the CSU Office of the Chancellor, SDLC (formerly SEIR) manages the SDLC consortium on behalf of its member libraries. Our staff focus on leveraging the substantial purchasing power ​of the CSU to achieve economies of scales for our campuses. In this way, we maximize the benefits from our portfolio of resources in ways that directly help faculty and students.
