Libraries

The Libraries' more than 3.6 million volumes are augmented by extensive digital resources including full-text electronic journals, databases, historical and research electronic collections, as well as media, and world-renowned special collections. Several “cybraries,” located in the Libraries, provide access to over 500 public computer workstations and software. The staff of the University at Buffalo Libraries includes specialists in many subject disciplines and in information and computer technologies. We actively embrace service, information access, the promotion of information literacy, and support of the educational and research missions of the University.
