About the Libraries

Portrait of Karen Estlund, Dean of Libraries

Welcome from Dean Karen Estlund

The CSU Libraries is an intellectual and interdisciplinary nexus for the CSU community and Colorado residents. We support all students, researchers, and scholars across the university – every day! 

Informed by the CSU Principles of Community, the Libraries provides the CSU community with the resources, tools and guidance necessary to critically engage with the global information landscape.   

We prioritize providing information and services online whenever possible and support two physical locations to support community engagement, individual refection, and accessibility accommodations: Morgan Library and Veterinary Teaching Hospital Library

Our Strategic Plan

2021 Strategic Planning is currently underway across the Libraries.
