Welcome to the USIU-A Library
Our library strives to provide the highest quality services and resources to the University community. The Library recognizes the importance of consulting its members, assessing the use of key resources and services, and providing decision makers with data for planning and resource allocation. The success of the library will be contingent on continuing to align library goals with the goals of the University as a whole. USIU-A’s reputation as a top-rated university continues to grow. Similarly, the library continues to distinguish itself as a leader in transforming, preserving, and making accessible enviable information resources. We also endeavor to translate the changing and diverse research needs of our University into innovative and effective services and information experiences.
I invite you who share our passion for lifelong learning to join the library in achieving its mission, to enable the exploration and collaboration of scholars in their intellectual engagement with the world of ideas and in the creation of knowledge. Your contribution is essential in helping us reinvent a library for the future.
