Research Engine | Powering Knowledge
Our strategic direction is reflected in our purpose, vision, and values.
We define research as all forms of enquiry and creativity, powered by every question asked along the journey toward discovery and knowledge. It encompasses how we share our expertise to spark discovery for the Dartmouth community and beyond.
The [Libraries] are the place where ideas can be incubated in collaboration and conversation with the expertise of librarians. - Faculty Member

Find inspiration in our diverse and dynamic spaces
Our network of libraries extends from the Dartmouth campus in Hanover, New Hampshire, to Lebanon, New Hampshire, at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.
Our newest library, the Library Collections & Services Facility (LCSF), opened in April 2024 on Etna Road in Lebanon. The LCSF is a critical addition to our infrastructure. Its purpose is to ensure the long-term stewardship and care of our valuable collections and institutional records, now and for generations to come.
Explore our extensive collections
We steward over 3.5 million volumes acquired since Dartmouth’s founding in 1769, along with the institution's physical records. Whether you seek a physical book, a digital magazine, a movie to stream, or maps, camera equipment, and rare books, we have it all. If you can't find what you need, we'll source it for you!
