With holdings of over three million volumes, the Rutgers University
Libraries rank among the nation's top research libraries. Composed of
26 libraries, centers, and reading rooms on Rutgers' campuses in New
Brunswick/ Piscataway, Camden, and Newark, and RU-Online, a digital
library, the Libraries provide the resources and services necessary to
support the university's mission of teaching, research, and service.

Engineering students and faculty are primarily served by the Library of
Science and Medicine located on the Busch campus near the Engineering
complex. Other smaller specialized libraries on the Busch campus house
collections in chemistry, mathematical sciences, and physics. Students
and faculty can also access the catalog, a wide variety of electronic
indexes and abstracts, full-text electronic journals and research
guides, and other library services online, both from campus and
remotely. At the Library of Science and Medicine, professional
librarians, including an engineering librarian, assist students and
faculty with engineering resources. Library instruction classes are
also available to improve students' information-seeking skills for
lifelong learning.
