About OSU Libraries: A Driving Force for Change
The Ohio State University Libraries is a highly valued partner and campus leader in advancing discovery and learning for OSU, for the state of Ohio, and for an ever expanding community of world scholars. Aligned with the University’s drive to eminence in teaching, research, and service, the Libraries advance student and faculty success by delivering distinctive content and fostering intellectual connections.
A world-class public research and comprehensive teaching university such as OSU demands a top research library, and OSU Libraries is rising to eminence along with the rest of the University. The Libraries, a leader among peers, is currently ranked in the top 10 among the public university members of the Association of Research Libraries, a reflection of the investment of the University. This ranking also places OSU Libraries within the top 20 of 126 ARL member libraries. The OSU Libraries is an essential charter member of OhioLINK, a consortium of 93 Ohio academic libraries and the State Library of Ohio, and shares resources through that organization. The Libraries also enhances collections and services by participation in the CIC, the academic consortium of Big Ten institutions, the HathiTrust, DuraSpace, and DPN.
With these resources and partnerships, the University Libraries has turned its attention to rapid innovation to address the challenges of the evolving academic environment. Recent major renovation projects, including a world-class research commons, have enhanced our spaces for collaborative and dynamic teaching, learning, and research. An ambitious talent management plan is bringing new skills and reframing long-held strengths. Increased investment in a wide variety of digital initiatives aims to revolutionize discovery and access to our vast and distinctive resources. Our impact reaches beyond our campus and extends the land-grant mission internationally. To learn more about the current strategic plan, visit: https://go.osu.edu/libraries_strategic_plan.
