Welcome from the University Librarian

Welcome to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Library. Whether you are on campus or connecting with us from afar, I invite you to explore and make full use of the services, collections, and resources you will find here.

UNC's libraries combine a long and distinguished history with a vibrant mission of service to the University and the state. Our library system is consistently ranked among the top twenty in the country, and is one of the leading research libraries in the South. More... Less...

Here you will find scholarly materials to support every learning endeavor. Your research may take you from ancient papyrus fragments to cutting-edge scientific journals online, or to our extensive collections of photographs, films, and recordings. Take time to enjoy an exhibit in Wilson Library, savor the quiet of our reading rooms, or collaborate with teammates in the group study rooms of the Undergraduate Library.

Along with outstanding collections, we strive to offer first-rate assistance and service. Contact our librarians in person, by phone, or online. We are also proud to be a research, teaching, and learning partner with individuals and organizations on campus and in our community.

We welcome your thoughts and suggestions about your experience in Carolina's libraries and with the Library's online services. I wish you every success in your inquiries and pursuit of learning.
