THE UNIVERSITY AT ALBANY, SUNY AND THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES
Albany's University Libraries are among the top 100 research libraries in
the United States.  They are a highly valued partner in teaching and
research at the University, serve a campus community of 17,000 full-time and
part-time students and 2,300 faculty and staff and a broader regional,
national and international community.   The Libraries employ a dynamic and
knowledgeable staff of 140 FTE and 200 part-time student assistants to
provide excellent services to a campus community that makes heavy demands on
these services.  Collections total 2 million cataloged volumes and the
Libraries offer a full spectrum of resources, from rare books and
manuscripts to an array of electronic resources.  Librarians work closely
with teaching faculty to offer an extensive program of user education and
information literacy instruction.  The University Library on the main campus
is a large 175,000 square feet, 4 story building providing seats for 1,660.
It is open 109 hours a week.  It contains several fully-networked library
classrooms and laboratories, a 60 seat computer user room, a large networked
reference area, and an interactive media center.

The Thomas E. Dewey Graduate Library for Public Affairs and Policy on the
Rockefeller College campus serves the graduate schools of Criminal Justice,
Public Administration, Social Welfare and Information Science and Policy.
The New Library, opened in September 1999, on the main campus adds 143,000
net square feet of space to the University Libraries and houses a
technologically advanced, 400,000 volume science library, the M. E.
Grenander Department of Special Collections and Archives, and the Library's
Preservation Department.
