As the center of intellectual life, Xavier University Library provides access to materials that are the building blocks of knowledge and services that support the educational and research needs of the University. The Library offers a wide range of information services and resources and is committed to offering students and faculty forward-thinking and sustainable information- and resource-management tools.
The Library’s mission is to advance student success, to provide valuable resources and insightful services, and to inspire research and life-long learning. In keeping with the mission of the University as a Catholic and historically Black institution, the Library serves as a hub for students, faculty, and the wider University community to do the impactful work of contributing to a more just and humane society through the collaborative discovery, sharing, and creation of information.
