University Libraries has over three million volumes and millions more electronic resources in a combination of specialized and traditional collections of great depth. Services across the system are provided by expert staff and faculty who put the needs of our UNM community as their highest priority.

In our three library buildings we provide a wide range of dynamic learning spaces for students that can meet the needs of the graduate student who needs absolute quiet or the group of undergraduates tasked with a collaborative project to finish.
