University of Virginia Library

LIBRARY FACILITIES

The University Libraries contain 207,582 volumes. Departmental libraries,
notably those of the Scientific Schools, the Classical, the English,
the Social Sciences, and the Heck Memorial Library of the Department of
Education, have about 50,000 volumes. The Medical Library, now in the
new Medical Buildings, is spacious and well equipped for graduate study.
Graduate students may, through the office of the General Library, get certain
books needed in research from other university libraries on the interlibrary
loan system. Nearness to Washington makes the Library of Congress
and the Folger Shakespeare Library easily available for graduate students.
