Welcome to Barnard Library

We are dedicated to intellectual discovery and cross-disciplinary collaboration. We seek to bring together people, ideas, collections and technologies, forming a space and community that serves as a catalyst for knowledge creation and investigation. We provide a wide range of research and scholarly services and programming to create a unique and connected undergraduate library.
