Teaching, Research, Outreach, and Learning Services represents the public face of the Library and all unit libraries will report to Janet McCue, Associate University Librarian. In each unit library, the facilities, collections, and services are expertly managed and customized for specific disciplines and subject areas. Together, the libraries offer the Cornell community and beyond a full array of scholarly information resources and services, and bringing them together under one umbrella will promote interdisciplinary work and ensure users a consistently high level of service across the system. |
