Libraries

The combined collections of the University Library total more than 3.7 million volumes, ranking 10th among private universities in the United States. The library's 2.8 million microform holdings include extensive backfiles of newspapers and periodicals, scientific documents, medieval manuscripts, and the full text of every book, pamphlet, or broadside published in the United States between 1639 and 1829. The Melville J. Herskovits Library of African Studies is a renowned collection containing rare recordings and source materials on Africana from precolonial times to the present.

Supplementing the main library are the Mathematics and Geology Libraries and the Seeley G. Mudd Library for Science and Engineering. The Charles L. Deering Library is home to the Music Library, Art and Map Collections, University Archives, and the Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections. About 30 minutes away are the Chicago campus libraries of the Feinberg School of Medicine, the School of Law, and the School of Continuing Studies.

All library resources are available to undergraduates.
