The Orbis Cascade Alliance is a library consortium serving academic libraries in the Northwestern United States. The consortium was formed through the 2003 merger of two previous consortia, Orbis and Cascade,[1] which consisted of libraries in Oregon and Washington, respectively. The Alliance functioned as part of the University of Oregon until its incorporation as a nonprofit on February 1, 2011.[2] The Alliance has 38 governing members, consisting of colleges and universities in Oregon and Washington, plus the University of Idaho.[3] The Alliance serves many types of libraries in a broader area that includes Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Alaska, and Hawaii.
