    About UVA Library:

    The University of Virginia was conceived with a library at its heart, placed in the Rotunda at the head of the Academical Village.


    Today, the UVA Library's original purpose remains unchanged:
    to provide access to accumulated knowledge and, in so doing, increase it — in short, to advance learning.

    The Library is here to ensure that the University community has the information it needs for teaching, research, and personal enjoyment and enrichment.

    Regularly ranked in the top quartile of ARL libraries, UVA Library has six locations, more than 220 staffers, and more than 100 student employees.

    Staff members support a collection that includes more than 20 million manuscripts and archive materials, 4.8 million books, 4.5 million e-books, and hundreds of thousands of journal subscriptions.

    Additionally, as a major research institution, the Library regularly collaborates with professional organizations such as the Virtual Library of Virginia (VIVA), Virginia Library Association, Association of College and Research Libraries, and others.

    The University of Virginia Library is committed to a culture of mutual respect, civility, inclusiveness, cooperation, mindfulness, accountability, and acceptance of individual differences.

    Departments and individuals are expected to work together, both in professional collaborations and in creating a culture where all can thrive.

    Library staff enjoy generous benefits for use of Library materials and professional development, in addition to UVA's standard benefits package.

    UVA is located in beautiful Charlottesville with easy access to the Blue Ridge Mountains; Richmond; Washington, D.C.; and the Eastern Shore.
