Excellence at the Core A library is at the heart of every great university. Quiet yet vibrant. with intellectual activity, it preserves the cumulative record of speculation, scholarship, and ex- pression generated throughout the ages while also encouraging fresh responses to experience and knowledge. And it responds to change within its own resources, as well. Joining the traditional medium of print over the past century have been such advances as microforms, photoduplication, audio/visual media, electronic storage, searching, and retrieval systems, and interlibrary tele- communications networks, all of which reveal, and indeed often generate, new possibilities for scholarly activity. In any uni- versity, in other words, the library is part of a vital organism that finds intellectual nourishment in new resources and technologies, and in new accomplishments. The University of Michigan Library has been growing and changing for a century and a half. Today its international reputation as a major research facility is firmly established. With some 6,000,000 volumes, 66,000 serials, bur- geoning electronic systems, and hundreds of talented staff members, it serves the entire University with a comprehensive body of collec- tions and services. And as the fifth largest academic library in the nation, it stands as a leading participant in interlibrary programs for resource-sharing and preser- vation. When the first separate Uni- versity Library building was erected in 1883, it was deliberately situated at the very center of the original campus, where the Graduate Library now stands, as a reminder to students of its place in their education. This brief overview can. hardly do more than introduce new students to our many facilities and services. (Individual library units and departments issue detailed descriptions of their collections, services, and operating hours.) But we hope these pages suggest that the University Library and its users still stand together at the center of the Michigan tradition of explor- ation, discovery, and renewal. Every undergraduate who enrolls develop in courses offered in the College of using e Literature, Science, and the Arts is also tea served by the Undergraduate individu Library, located on the central request. campus.
