The library is the heart of a university.
鈥 SMU President Charles Selecman (1923鈥1938)
The SMU Libraries live by these words, which fuel the essential mission of the University in teaching, learning, research and creative听 works. Our libraries provide critical services, collections and facilities that reach and engage every student, faculty, staff and global community听 member who seeks to learn from our past, stand on the shoulder of giants and re-imagine our future. Like the heart, we reliably and steadfastly听 deliver the sustenance upon which the intellectual and social life thrives at SMU in Dallas and worldwide.
