Academic libraries support faculty and students by offering access to academic resources that can strengthen research and instruction. We partner with college and university librarians to collect, preserve, and organize rare content as part of our extensive collection of primary source archives and educational databases—making knowledge more accessible across campus and furthering research efforts.
