  ABSTRACT: Beijing Academic Library & Information System (BALIS) is the largest regional university library alliance (RULA) in Beijing, which has 100 member libraries, covering almost all university libraries (UL) of Beijing. BALIS was founded in 2007, through more than fifteen years of development, which has formed a certain business scale. Its services mainly cover six aspects: document delivery (DD), interlibrary loan (ILL), group procurement, joint consulting, business training, and technical support. BALIS is the representative of Chinese RULAS. The fifteen years of rapid development of BALIS are also the fifteen years of rapid development of RULAS in China. Through researching it, the construction ideals (CI), organizational structure (OS), and operation methods (OM) of the Chinese RULAS can be well revealed. Therefore, this article adopts the method of case analysis to grasp the development context and law of RULAS in China.
