Connecting People with Knowledge

Built Environments Student at CheckoutWhether through the helpful expertise of a librarian, a collaborative study space for students, or a rich and rare collection of books, our resources are utilized by tens of thousands of curious minds - undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and professional students - in support of their quest for knowledge, and to serve the citizens of our state by addressing society’s most vital issues.
