ABSTRACT: One of the most spectacular aspects of the changes to University Library Alliances (ULAs) in China over recent years is the establishment of several large-scale alliances covering the entire country, among which CASHL is one. CASHL is the largest ULA in the field of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS), which has 900 member libraries now. CASHL has established China’s largest and most comprehensive HSS document guarantee system. The value of CASHL lies in its ability to integrate literature resources in the HSS across China onto a common platform to serve readers. This is a case study on CASHL, aimed at introducing readers to China’s literature resource guarantee in the fields of HSS.
