Harvard owes its very name to the library that was left in 1638 by John Harvard to the newly created College. For 370 years, the College and the University that grew around it have had libraries at their heart. While the University sprouted new buildings, departments, and schools, the library grew into a collection of collections, adding new services and locations until its tendrils stretched as far from Cambridge as Washington, DC and Florence, Italy.

  • Harvard Library's Digital Strategy
    MEETING OF THE OVERSEERS' COMMITTEE TO VISIT THE HARVARD LIBRARY MARCH 21–22, 2017 Tuesday, 10:15 am–11:45 am: Harvard Library’s Digital Strategy Version 1.0 DIGITAL STRATEGY Harvard Library Digital Strategy, Version 1.0* Author: Suzanne L. Wones, director of library digital strategies and innovations at Harvard Library First and foremost, Harvard Library is a digital library. The vast majority of our users interact with us by accessing our services and collections electronically, no matter how amazing our print and other physical holdings may be. As Deanna Marcum observed in her recent issue brief on library leadership, “what users primarily seek from libraries are the digital resources that they can have access Harvard to from anywhere they happen to be.”1 At Harvard we can see Library is a that impact by comparing circulation numbers of print pub- lications vs. the number of times users access e-resources. In digital library. FY 15 we had 629,717 loans of physical items for the entire year. In comparison, users accessed our e-resources via the EzProxy 6,105,747 times in just one month, November 2015. We need to balance our services and workloads to support this reality and to ensure we con- tinue to add value to Harvard University and our community of scholars as a digital library. The Harvard Library is fortunate in many ways; we have the support of University leadership, the respect and affection of faculty and students, and a history of champions who have invested in the library’s future throughout our past.

Narragansett, RI 02882 Re: Desire to enroll in the CESU as a new partner institution/organization Dear Dr. Swift: I write to request membership in the North Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (NAC CESU) on behalf of the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology (OEB) at Harvard University and our allied institutions, including but not limited to, the Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ), Harvard University Herbaria (HUH), the Arnold Arboretum (AA) and Harvard Forest (HF). The administrative office of OEB and the allied institutions mentioned above is located at 26 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA 02138. Additional centers of environmental research at Harvard include the Harvard Center for the Environment (HUCE), the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS) and the Center for Geographic Analysis (CGA). Other Departments with emphases of relevance to the funding opportunities via CESU are History and Anthropology. If the CESU is approved, I therefore expect there will be much additional interest at Harvard. The Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) mediates outside funding for research at Harvard University and has agreed to be the administrative lead, and to accept the 17.5% indirect cost rate on any projects initiated under the CESU agreement. Technical representatives, at least initially, will be the directors of the allied institutions (Dr. Donald Pfister and Dr. Charles Davis (OEB/HUH), Dr. James Hanken (OEB/MCZ), Dr. David Foster (OEB/HF), and Dr.
