About the Library

The Augustana Campus Library has a collection of over 100,000 books and bound periodicals and provides access to a wide array of databases. Through its collection and services, the Library supports the research needs of approximately 1,000 undergraduate liberal arts and sciences students and 75 teaching faculty at Augustana.

Augustana's new library opened Fall 2009. It houses Augustana’s entire library collection, including approximately 130,000 individual titles. In addition to being a wireless hotspot, it provides access to approximately 100 computer workstations, a variety of student workspaces, and Writing Centre consultation rooms. The new library is fully wheelchair-accessible. It boasts large windows and wonderful ravine views.

The Library places strong emphasis on professional assistance for students and the application of principles of information literacy. Reference service and classroom instruction by librarians is implemented via a teaching model where the librarians play a key role in the development of critical thinking skills and awareness of the research process. Augustana students learn how to do university research with the right tools and by asking the right questions. This is a significant part of their educational experience and success and is the component required to graduate as information literate students. Augustana's 21 for-credit Information Literacy courses provide the framework for the Library's goals of integration of information literacy into the curriculum.
