Reciprocal Interlibrary Loan Agreements
Members may network with other mental health libraries for interlibrary loan purposes, often developing free reciprocal interlibrary loan agreements.

The MHLIB Listserv
MHLIB is a discussion forum for mental health librarians, consultants in the mental health field, and other professionals working or having an interest in mental health. The primary purpose of the MHLIB is to share information, answer questions, share available duplicate materials, and post announcements of conferences and employment opportunities. Maintained by John R. Clark, MEd, MLIS, the list is by approved subscription only to maintain the high level of professionalism.
