Libraries
The MIT Libraries have always provided students and faculty with the resources they need — but these days, those resources include far more than books, journals, and even electronic databases. Add maps, the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Lab, software, electronic journals, datasets, sound recordings, still and moving images, musical scores, working papers, and you begin to get the picture.
It follows that the services the Libraries provide are changing, too. With an expanded teaching role, the Libraries’ instruction programs teach students the essential skills they need to conduct academic research at the MIT level, and then show them how to evaluate and analyze the information they uncover.
With a keen eye on the future, the MIT Libraries have these goals in mind:
- Combining the best tools and technology to help students navigate the ever-growing, increasingly multimedia global learning environment;
- designing next-generation library spaces with media-rich work environments that encourage student collaboration, growth, and discovery; and
- leading research in the crucial area of digital permanence.
