Its 100,000 square feet house books that hold the words of Sophocles, Shakespeare, and Faulkner. Visitors to its stacks can find a history of the Shang dynasty, or the latest analysis of the subprime mortgage industry collapse. More than 50,000 digital journals offer the latest research on an array of topics too vast to imagine. Students and faculty today can access many of the library's growing collection of resources online, but the facility itself offers much more than could ever be fully appreciated from an office or residence hall. Rotating exhibits, lectures and performances, a newly added Heritage Edition of the Saint John's Bible, and, perhaps most importantly, the expertise of librarians eager to share their insights on research strategies with curious students—and more than a few faculty members. What's more, the Loyola/Notre Dame Library welcomes visits from members of the general public as well as Loyola faculty, staff, students, and alumni, and has become a valuable asset to the greater Baltimore community, especially our neighbors along the York Road corridor.
