The University and the Libraries

With a current enrollment of more than 26,000 students, UCSD is a powerful magnet for those seeking a fresh innovative approach to education and research. In just under five decades, the campus has achieved international distinction for its educational excellence, research strength and institutional flexibility. Ranked seventh in the nation and third in the University of California system in federal R&D funding, UCSD annually attracts more than $733 million in research awards. The National Research Council ranks the campus 10th nationally in the excellence of its graduate programs and quality of its faculty. US News & World Report ranks UCSD 7th nationally among public national universities. UCSD has entered a period of major growth with planned enrollment expected to reach 28,365 by 2010. The UCSD Libraries are widely recognized as integral partners in the development and provision of innovative, responsive, and effective information services vital to the University’s instructional and research enterprise.

The UCSD Libraries, a member of the Association of Research Libraries, consist of nine campus libraries¹ with combined collections of more than three million volumes.  Integrated services dependent on information technology are a hallmark of the UCSD Libraries.  Recent projects include network delivery of digital audio and media, a redesigned website, digital reference services, a digital asset management system (DAMS), and a dynamic and ambitious Digital Library Program. Components of the information infrastructure include INNOPAC, the integrated library system; the DAMS; the UCSD Libraries website; and the UCSD campus website. UCSD works actively and collaboratively with the other nine UC libraries and the California Digital Library to develop and manage shared collections and services available to all UC faculty and students.
