Overview of the libraries

For an overview of services offered at Newman Library, take a tour.

The University Libraries supports the university mission by:

• selecting, organizing, and providing convenient access to information resources needed by the learning, teaching, research, and outreach community of Virginia Tech,
• providing direct assistance and learning opportunities that encourage the development of those information competencies necessary for educational, professional, and personal growth in a knowledge-based society,
• preserving access to selected library resources of significant scholarly value for the research community,
• providing a comfortable infrastructure of spaces and technologies for the discovery, exchange, and advancement of ideas.

Established in 1872 with 500 volumes, the library now includes holdings of more than 2 million volumes physically located in Newman Library and the branches:

• Art + Architecture
• Veterinary Medicine
• Northern Virginia Resource Service Center
• and a high-density storage building.

The university community also has access to a large and continuously expanding collection of electronic databases and full content journals provided by the library.
