Erikson is part of the Consortia of Academic Libraries of Illinois (CARLI) and one benefit of membership is physical access to library facilities for the student, faculty and staff of other CARLI Governing member institutions without undue restrictions.

CARLI serves over 90% of Illinois higher education students, faculty and staff at 130 member institutions, and there are many in the Chicago area that Erikson students can use.
