Rowan University Libraries supports the University’s educational and research mission through the judicious selection, management, promotion, and training in the use of information resources and services. Rowan University Libraries provides the Rowan community with access to an extensive range of resources and services, which are accessible through four physical libraries and through the Libraries’ website. Reference librarians are available in all libraries for research consultation and to assist patrons in identifying, locating, accessing, and evaluating both print and online resources.
