ImageOlin, Kroch & Uris Library Orientation Tours Link

The Olin, Kroch & Uris Library Orientation Tours are designed to introduce new members of the Cornell community to the three libraries along the south side of Cornell’s Arts Quad at the heart of central campus. Together, those three libraries contain 2.6 million volumes—a large percentage of the Cornell University Library’s physical collections, and some of its most unusual and valuable books and manuscripts. These tours provide an introduction to the collections and guide you through the buildings so that you can make the most of the libraries and their services.
