“The specialist support is excellent.“

Assistant Professor, History

Quality of Resources: Excellent; Quality of Librarians: Outstanding; Quality of Facilities: Excellent.

Professor, Sciences

The librarians (from Butler, TC, Science and Engineering, Digital Humanities Center, and RBML) who've helped me with teaching and research projects have been consistently smart, responsive, and fantastic. I can't say enough about what great partners they are.

Lecturer, Humanities

I'm extremely grateful to Butler for being at the forefront of the digital humanities, and for enabling me to do my research and writing from everywhere in the world.

Professor, Humanities

Columbia libraries are a gold mine to me and I greatly appreciate the materials I can get access to and the assistance I get as and when needed.

Adjunct Faculty, International and Public Affairs

The things I am most worried about are: de-accession of print publications, moving books offsite, and repurposing library space for either study spaces and digital projects. Everybody, myself included, likes digital resources, but to me a library is a place that houses BOOKS. Keep Butler this way!
