| Smaller organisations can also join the Consortium as members, subject to approval by the Directors. To this category are reckoned to belong specialist rare-books libraries which are too small to be Full members, and collections in institutions not normally funded by public funding. Special members sign the [[http://www.cerl-org.de/web/_media/en/about/funding_agreement_2006-2009.pdf?id=en%3Aabout%3Alegal_documents&cache=cache|Funding Agreement]] and have full voting rights. They pay a reduced annual fee. They have the same access as Full members to the HPB database and to such other databases as the Consortium can allow, which may not be on the same advantageous terms as that of Full members. They are not eligible to stand for election for the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee. | Smaller organisations can also join the Consortium as members, subject to approval by the Directors.

| === Associate Membership === | |
| Associate membership is offered to organisations where financial or technical constraints make it impossible to join the Consortium immediately as Full members, but where there is a clear intention to become a Full member when the constraints are removed. Associate membership is granted for a period of three years and will be reviewed at the end of this period. An Associate member is entitled to receive information about the Consortium’s work, and to attend the Consortium’s open meetings as observers. | |
