Mission Statement
The Humanities Library anticipates and responds to the research and information needs of the MIT Community with special emphasis on supporting the programs of the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences. We play an essential role in providing centralized library services. We enhance the quality of life at MIT by developing a diverse collection for self education and discovery and by sustaining an inviting environment.
