Eugene M. and Christine E. Lynn Library | Academic catalog 23–24

The mission of the Lynn University Library is to prepare the next generation of innovators for success in life as information savvy global citizens.

The library’s learning resources include a collection of approximately 100,000 physical items, including books, journals, magazines, CDs, music scores and DVDs. We also have a textbook collection, which includes at least one copy of every textbook required for courses, available for 3-hour loan. The library’s large collection of popular DVDs, known as The Lynn Parents and Families Collection of Great Movies can be checked out for personal viewing. The library’s electronic resources are vast. A carefully selected collection of research databases contains more than 100,000 e-journal titles, thousands of streaming videos, biographical information, market and company research, reference e-books, statistics, images, and more, and is accessible through the library website. The library also has more than 400,000 e-books that are accessible via the Web. All e-resources are available on- or off-campus, 24 hours a day.

Librarians are available and help students find, evaluate, and use research and information, and will help cite materials properly.

The library has about 90 PC and Mac workstations, several high-speed scanner/printers, and wireless access are available throughout the building. There is a Music Library, primarily serving students and faculty of the Conservatory of Music, with thousands of scores, books, CDs, and streaming music. The Perper Coffee House, located just inside the main entrance to the right, is open seven days a week and offers a variety of refreshments and snacks.

Additional resources are available through Lynn Library’s membership in SEFLIN (Southeast Florida Library Information Network), providing students with direct access and borrowing privileges in dozens of regional academic and public libraries. Request a SEFLIN card at the Lynn Library Information Desk.
