University Libraries
enjoy a strong reputation among fellow members of the Association of
Research Libraries. Substantial renovations to the William Oxley
Thompson Library - also known as the Main Library - will enable it to
become a "library of the 21st century" and will
further improve this ranking, corresponding with the university's continually
improving status among its own peer institutions. With careful and imaginative
design, the Main Library can achieve balance between traditional
print media and services and the exciting changes taking place in
digital information technology, offering a variety of resources and
spaces for student, faculty, and community users alike.
It will be a
gateway to the universe of information services, both print and
digital; a research center for all fields of knowledge, but
particularly for the humanities and liberal arts; a showplace for
the book arts and for new information technology; a destination and
gathering place on the Columbus campus for inviting and inspiring
space for reading, learning, and research; and a place of
celebration through its outstanding collections and services.
