Revamped Library Spaces

The AUC Library reopened on the first day of classes, following summer renovations to the plaza and garden levels that created more flexible and collaborative spaces designed around how students study, work together and engage with technology today. 

 

Important Announcements

New Library System

AUC Libraries is using WorldShare Management Services (WMS) as its new library system, as of January 14, 2026. Enjoy a familiar interface, enhanced search, and improved access to our collections. To get started, watch our short tutorials on basic searching and managing your user profile, and share feedback at [email protected].

Article/Chapter Delivery Service Enhancement

The AUC Libraries Article/Chapter Delivery service will upgrade to a new platform on July 1, 2026. Service will continue uninterrupted during the migration. Users are advised to review and save any information from their ILLiad account before July 1, 2026, as historical request information may no longer be available after the transition.

Need to Visit the RBSCL After Regular Hours?

The RBSCL offers Monday extended hours until 7:45 pm by appointment for AUC students and faculty who need access to its collections beyond regular Library hours. To request an appointment, email [email protected] with details of the materials you need, or contact a curator, by 2:00 pm on Sunday at the latest.
