The Southern California Theological Library Association is an independent organization dedicated to strengthening delivery of and resources for theological information, knowledge, culture, and research through the development of cooperative programs, services, and collections in the Southern California area. The association will develop and solicit funds, materials, services, and other contributions that enable its members to reach their full potential in serving their respective clienteles. The Association promotes and supports cooperative effort among theological libraries to reduce the duplication of services and resources which inevitably occurs when similar institutions which answer to different funding sources attempt to provide levels of service basic to their missions.

To obtain membership in SCATLA, each library must support graduate degrees in theology, be located in the Southern California area, have at least 10,000 volumes in the library, and employ at least one full-time librarian.

SCATLA allows graduate students in the School of Theology circulation privileges at member institutions. SCATLA cards are available at the Charging Desk.
