• The English Library serves the Departments of English and the Unit for Cinema Studies. Its patrons include undergraduate majors, graduate students, and faculty members, as well as national and international scholars attracted by the strength of the collections. The English Library welcomes local residents involved in literature and the performing arts. The English Library contains about 35,000 volumes and comprises a core collection and bibliographic research center for the disciplines that it serves. The English Library collection includes current issues of several hundred periodical titles; an in-depth reference section for bibliographies, dictionaries, indexes, writing manuals, concordances, and histories; and a circulating collection of critical and historical scholarship. The English Library also acquires material as part of the Medieval Studies Program Library Resources group. The English Library collects works related to several major literary figures including Shakespeare, John Milton, H.G. Wells and others, complementing special collections held by the Rare Books Room. The Main Library holds an additional 700,000 volumes covering all areas of English and American literature and cinema theory and history. Together these collections form one of the country's most important resources for literature and cinema. The English Library is a member of the Arts and Humanities Division of the Library.
