About the Library

The new Engineering Library is a major element within the Jen-Hsun Huang School of Engineering Center -- a forward-looking facility that reflects the preeminent reputation of the Stanford School of Engineering. The purpose of this facility, its services and its collections is to provide an environment for information discovery, utilization, creation, and management.

The Library space and services are designed to foster collaboration among students and faculty, support discovery, retrieval and integration of print and digital information and provide a comfortable ambience with abundant natural light for student and faculty study.
