The Utah Academic Library Consortium (UALC) is an organization of Utah libraries of not-for-profit educational and research universities and institutions. UALC was established in 1971 to improve the availability and delivery of information services to the higher education community and the State of Utah. It was formed to maximize state resources, foster research, and advocate for excellent library resources.
In 2001, members of the Utah Academic Library Consortium founded the Mountain West Digital Library, a digital library aggregator for memory institutions in the Mountain West. Since 2013, the Mountain West Digital Library has been the regional service hub for the Digital Public Library of America for the Mountain West, sending over 900,000 items to the national digital library.
