University Librarian
Welcome from the University Librarian
As one of the 10 largest academic research libraries in the United States, Cornell University Library is a highly valued partner in study, teaching and research at the university. Many library resources, from rare books and manuscripts to a rapidly expanding network of digital resources, are here at your service and for your enjoyment.
Our 20 libraries – spread across the Ithaca campus and extending to New York City, Geneva, N.Y., and Doha, Qatar – are more than physical spaces. They offer a collection of close to 8 million volumes in print, over 360,000 e-books and about 88,000 print and electronic journals and other serials. The Library is an active, inviting center for information discovery and the celebration of knowledge. You can come to the Library or access superb resources by electronic document delivery at your personal computer.
For your comfort and convenience, we offer individual and group study spaces, cafés, interlibrary loans, book delivery and return to the library of your choice, workshops on using electronic and other research-finding aids and many other services too numerous to mention in this brief message. Our expert reference staff can also provide personalized assistance in navigating the world of information so that you can locate just what you need.
We welcome suggestions for improvements and comments about our services. And remember, if you have any questions about finding what you need – just ask a librarian.
