"Libraries remember our past, serve the present, and are vibrant, living caldrons of the new ideas which will shape our future."
- J. Lewis von Hoelle
Ranked among the nation’s top research libraries, the University at Albany’s three libraries are remarkable resources designed to foster learning and discovery by students and faculty, and to serve the world beyond UAlbany’s campuses. The strength of the University’s academic programs is directly related to the strength of its Libraries. Just as the University is undergoing transformation, the Libraries must also continually evolve. They must be adaptive and persistent as they acquire, organize, and make accessible the vast array of information that is vital to the process of research, teaching and learning today, as well as tomorrow.
