SMU Libraries incorporates a system of seven libraries which collectively support SMU’s mission by creating, expanding and imparting knowledge through teaching, research and service. Continuing the tradition begun over 100 years ago when the first campus library opened its doors, SMU Libraries is dedicated to creating an optimal library experience for the SMU campus community. SMU Libraries collectively inspire and empower students, faculty, staff, and our community to be the world changers needed in our fast-paced, global environment.
