CLAN stands for the Cooperating Libraries Automated Network. The CLAN database has a lot to offer to everyone, and is accessible to over 99.0% of Rhode Islanders. The CLAN database offers a wide variety of services including a shared MARC bibliographic database, and online public access catalog, an inter-library loan system, a consortium-wide telecommunications network with Internet access, and the access to online periodical indexes and full-text databases. The CLAN system is a great tool in performing research for a project or assignment because of its capability to access multiple databases and search for your topic. Another wonderful benefit of this site is that it can also give you directions to the CLAN library nearest to you if you are unsure of where it may be.
