About the Edsel Ford Memorial Library

Mission

The Edsel Ford Memorial Library’s team inspires and empowers students by fostering exploration, scholarship, responsible citizenship, and lifelong learning. 

The Library provides students with a wealth of research tools—and an ideal place for both individual and group study.

In addition to cozy armchairs and quiet study carrels, the Library offers smart classrooms, media viewing, and several meeting and group study rooms. Students can check out a variety of equipment, such as portable chargers, calculators, DVD/CD players, sewing machines, headphones, art supplies, and cameras.

Other library services include:

• Departmental liaison program
• Research appointments
• Interlibrary loan
• Children’s library

Beyond the Library’s collection of books and media, students have access to a wide range of research databases, online scholarly journals, and online newspapers. Each academic department has a designated librarian to help students make the most of the Library’s resources, and a knowledgeable staff is available during Library hours to provide assistance and support.
