Penn State World Campus degree and credit certificate students have access to the thirteenth-largest university library in North America—the Penn State University Libraries system, comprising more than 4.7 million volumes, 56,000 serials and periodicals, and providing access to numerous online research databases. The Libraries add nearly 100,000 new volumes to their collection every year.
The Information Technology (IT) fee that you pay as a Penn State student provides you with access to all of the services that our Libraries have to offer. You can:
- access networked databases
- borrow materials
- receive assistance with research
- chat live with a University reference librarian
In addition, the Libraries have locations across Pennsylvania where all Penn State students, including World Campus students living or traveling in the area, have access to all Libraries services.
