academic libraries
Campus book repositories
Academic libraries are libraries attached to colleges and universities, serving students, faculty, and researchers.
They typically house scholarly journals, research databases, special collections, and course reserves alongside general holdings.
Unlike public libraries, academic libraries focus on supporting curriculum and research rather than general reading: The academic library subscribes to hundreds of specialized journals.
