Columbia University’s libraries are at the heart of one of the world’s top research and learning communities, situated in the most exciting city in the world. We connect people with unique collections, create inspiring learning experiences, and offer cutting-edge support for research of all kinds. Whether you’re a student, a professor, an alum, or a visiting researcher, we’re here to help you discover and grow.

Our collection is a deep dive into human history and ideas with materials in over 450 languages and original sources that stretch back more than 4,000 years. We steward more than 7 million print volumes, plus provide access to over 9 million ebooks and nearly 2,000 databases. And thanks to our global network of library partners, if we don’t have it, we can help you get it.

We also offer expert support for teaching, learning, and research at every level. Whether you’re a student starting your first project, a faculty member designing a course, or an external researcher exploring our collections, our experts are here to help. Through personalized consultations, classroom instruction, workshops, and online tools, we provide guidance that enhances discovery and deepens understanding. Whatever your academic or professional goals, the Libraries are committed to supporting your success.

We are committed to curating and nurturing collections that drive transformative research, teaching, and learning at Columbia. With a clear focus on advancing the University’s mission, we thoughtfully shape and steward collections that not only honor our rich academic legacy but also amplify underrepresented voices and overlooked histories. Our dynamic and evolving collections are designed to reflect a full spectrum of human knowledge, ensuring broad access to diverse heritage materials that inspire innovation, critical thinking, and discovery.

We can’t wait to work with you.
