Electronic Centers

"Just as the method of recording human progress shifted from the quill to the printing press 500 years ago, so is it now shifting from print to digital form. The library will continue to provide books and the printed record, but must now also deliver texts, images, and sounds to the personal computers of students, faculty and the public. The vision that prompted Jefferson to place the library in the Rotunda remains central to our focus. The University Library has taken the lead by establishing content-oriented centers to which students and faculty and scholars from around the world can go via their computers. This web site gives a glimpse into the riches found in the electronic centers. "
