The Role of the Library

History of Campbell Library

Campbell Library was opened in 1995 and was named campbell library after a $1.5 million dollar donation from Keith and Shirley Campbell. It stands four stories tall and is filled with many amenities available for student and faculty use. There are nearly 350,000 print volumes as well as 500,000 electronic resources. One very useful resource that this library offers, besides books, databases and computers, is the writing center. This center offers tutors for one on one or group assistance at any stage of the writing process. They also have collaboration rooms that students can rent or use if available to encourage group work and studying. The Campbell Library is still home to the Stewart Collection, which was once housed in Savitz Library. It is also home to many other archives ranging from pictures of the Hollybush Summit to University Archives. On the fourth floor of the library lives the RCA Heritage Program Museum, which is something many students and faculty are unaware of. The museum currently houses more than 2,000 records produced by Victor Talking Machine Company and RCA. The library is even open special hours during finals week where they provide free coffee for students that are up all night studying. The faculty here are committed to helping students strengthen their research skills and also offer an online service called LibChat that allows students to obtain help if they need it from a remote location. The library is also open to students on the weekends, however at this time it requires key card access. There are currently rumors of plans for expanding the library and connecting it through sky bridge to the Chamberlain Student Center. Hopefully, this would introduce more students to the libraries resources, those who may have never used it before.
