WVU Libraries serves as a dynamic and essential University partner trusted to empower learning and research. 

By connecting students and faculty to ideas and information that empower learning, research, and discovery, the Libraries supports the University’s goals to increase student success and engagement with its R1 and land grant missions. And not only do we support campus community, but we also serve as an essential resource for the people of West Virginia.
