ABSTRACT: China Academic Library & Information System (CALIS) is the world’s largest university library consortium, which is responsible for resource coordination and joint construction, document information sharing services, etc. It uses cloud computing technology to build a platform for resource sharing, which is a model for the development of China’s university library alliances (CULAS) in the past 30 years. CALIS has played an important role in promoting the CULAS development, which has independently designed and developed an online cooperative cataloging system and an online public retrieval (OPAC) system. This article mainly adopts the method of case analysis to study the development process, organizational structure, operation mode, and development trend of CALIS, to reveal the general laws of CULAS construction.
