John U. Tomlinson Library supports CMU's mission of exceptional teaching and academic excellence by providing professional librarians, diverse and comprehensive collections, information literacy instruction and assessment, and a variety of services offered by all of our Departments.

Librarians provide personalized research assistance to support both faculty and students, and are available to help students identify, evaluate, and ethically use information sources within and beyond the Library.
