THE LIBRARY

Superior library resources and services have been a primary objective of Sangamon State University from its beginning. When classes began in the fall of 1970, the first building on the interim campus to be in operation was the library. Also, the university's first permanent structure is the Norris L Brookens Library, and it is by design not coincidence that this building sits at the center of the permanent campus. Brookens Library, its staff, and collections are an integral component of instruction at San mon State. Library faculty are committed to the concept of the teaching library, whereby students acquire bibliographic skills which enable them to become independent and proficient users of library resources, not only during their relatively brief tenure as students but for lifelong access to all forms of recorded knowledge.
