Welcome to Tulane University Libraries!
On behalf of our talented team of library workers—librarians, archivists, coders, curators, designers, conservators, and other experts—I warmly welcome you as you join Tulane’s one-of-a-kind academic community. We are all so excited you’re here.
We envision Tulane University Libraries as a kaleidoscope: a dynamic, ever-changing view that reveals patterns in data, reflects the past to help see the future, invites quiet wonder, and delights in new insights. Convening and celebrating our community is our foremost priority, which is why you can find library support Uptown and Downtown, in-person and online and on-demand. You are already a partner in realizing our vision to invite introspection and ignite imagination!
As a faculty member at Tulane University, you now have access to a designated liaison to your department who can help you find your way and your resources. The entire Libraries team is here to assist you in accessing and navigating Tulane’s extensive and unique collections, utilizing our cutting-edge technologies, and integrating information literacy into your curriculum and evidence synthesis into your research. It has never been more important to distinguish truth from misinformation, and we are your allies in your publishing, teaching, and learning.
You also have a wealth of physical and digital resources designed to support your work, practice, and diversion. This Library Guide is an excellent starting point to explore these resources! Our library spaces, including digital collections and exhibits, are rich environments of intellectual exploration and innovation designed to help you get wherever your aspirations take you.
Once again, welcome to Tulane University Libraries. We are delighted that you are a part of our community and are eager to celebrate and steward your contributions to the scholarly dialogue and cultural memory.
Please be in touch—we love questions, and we are ready to connect to discuss our resources and services.
Sincerely,
Lindsay Cronk
