Tell us your story/detailed overview

The University Library is a platform for discovery, creativity and innovation. In the book Where Good Ideas Come From, author Stephen Johnson tells us that big discoveries typically come from assembling existing ideas in new ways. A “platform” where people from different walks of life come together can facilitate “collisions” of ideas that lead to new insight, and “spark” innovation. We aim to provide this kind of a place. By providing useful spaces and tools, we foster connections between people and breakthroughs in understanding. By acquiring, curating and preserving scholarship, we amplify the discoveries happening on campus and preserve the story of an ever-changing city. By boldly developing spaces and programs that support this vision we seek to become a leading model of the progressive research library.
