What Do Libraries Mean to UC Students and Faculty?

Consider the comments of several library users:

• “The Info Commons staff were extremely helpful and went well beyond the call of duty to help me, not only by helping me print the article I was looking for, but by showing me how to do it on my own in the future.” -- Undergraduate History Major
• “Thanks for providing the subscriptions to the online resources and the electronic books. These are invaluable.” -- Graduate student in Engineering
• “Overall, I find the library to be UC’s most valuable asset.” -- Education Faculty Member

As these statements from satisfied library users demonstrate, University Libraries plays a fundamental role in helping UC achieve research and academic excellence, two strategic goals of the UC|21 Academic Plan.
