Learn 3 things (or more!) about the Penn Libraries to get you started for the 2017-2018 academic year.

1. Welcome to the Penn Libraries!

2. The Penn Libraries is one of the oldest academic research libraries in the US and is
comprised of 14 libraries spanning the life sciences, humanities, social sciences, and
law. Given our holdings and the access we have to holdings within partner library
consortia, you have access to approximately one-quarter of a billion scholarly
items — digital and physical combined.

3. People
Services Spaces Specialists
While we are home to extraordinary collections in rare books, manuscripts, and
Judaica, we invite you to think of us as a collection of cutting-edge services,
amazing spaces, and knowledgeable specialists who can support you in a wide
variety of ways.

4. Knowledge
Creation AccessPreservation
The mission of the Libraries is to support the creation of, preservation of, and access
to knowledge. Increasingly, the trend at Penn Libraries is toward providing spaces
and people to help create knowledge — especially knowledge in new forms.
