    Academic Library community.

    Our academic
    library is
    integral to
    learning in the
    digital age.
    More than any other
    campus enterprise, our
    library symbolizes
    the distinct
    characteristics of the
    university and its
    mission across all
    disciplines.
    Our benefits
    are far
    greater than
    our cost .

    Library Value = Benefits / Cost

    community.
