Why Penn State Libraries

Penn State Libraries is one library geographically-dispersed across Pennsylvania.  With over 20 campuses, we have a very diverse set of libraries, ranging from one of the region’s largest university libraries in the Pattee & Paterno Library, small and medium-sized undergraduate libraries at Commonwealth campuses, as well as specialized medical and law libraries.

We hope that implementation of the sensory-friendly library paradigm at several test sites will allow us to gather data that can offer a comprehensive approach to addressing sensory issues in academic libraries.
