Being part of the MIT community means committing to solving hard problems. Knowledge generated at the Institute has changed — and will continue to change — the world. As a library, we’re dedicated to inspiring, facilitating, and sharing that knowledge; this mission is embedded in everything we do:

• We meet the needs of the MIT research community with services like Research Data Management which is evolving to support increasingly data-intensive and computational research.
• We help ensure a healthy Institute community with supportive staff, spaces that are welcoming to all, and engaging programming like MIT Reads, which recently focused on managing stress.
• We work to ensure ongoing access to knowledge, whether it’s preserving cultural heritage or sustaining public access to public data from the federal government.

In today’s higher education landscape, solving hard problems has become even harder, but we’re steadfast in our mission. With your continued support, the important work of libraries carries on.

With gratitude,
