Division of Libraries

New York University Libraries advance learning, research, and scholarly inquiry in an atmosphere dedicated to the open exchange of information by building, preserving, interpreting, and providing access to rich and diverse collections; teaching the effective use and critical evaluation of information resources; developing creative and responsive services for individual user communities; capitalizing on innovative information technologies to foster intellectual growth. While our primary responsibility lies with the students and faculty of New York University, the Libraries welcome and engage in scholarly, cultural, and artistic interactions with the broader communities.
