The Cornell University Library plays an integral part in the education of residential students. It provides valuable services to faculty and their classes, enhancing the learning experience. As a provider of rich content, the library is a center of research, learning and discovery. As a service organization, the library provides reference and instruction so that students can become efficient at accessing our vast collection. The library is in an excellent position to continue that support to non-residential learners. By working closely with faculty and the Office of Distance Learning, we hope to overcome many of the barriers that still prevent effective access to information for distant learners.
