A Visual Tour of West Campus' Many Libraries


Written and photographed by Chris Pasion and Luna Amin, graduate assistants to The Graduate School.

Everyone is familiar with Langsam, the flagship library that is shown off on campus tours, with its countless resources and remarkable collections. To ignore the rest of the historic libraries on campus, however, would be a crime. There are many hidden gems peppered throughout campus which offer specialized resources and unique changes of scenery for the curious Bearcat. If you are the type of student who needs to study in different places to be productive, then this is the list for you.
