academic commons building

Much more than just “the library,” Academic Commons is the nexus for intellectual community, expert knowledge, and creative resources on our campus.

In the Academic Commons, you’ll find the traditional library resources like books, journals, computers, and a quiet place to study. But it’s also an information center where you’ll find writing and research support, technology help, smart classrooms, art exhibits, and special events.

The Academic Commons is comprised of spaces, tools, and support for learning and teaching at Oxy. A savvy staff of information professionals is available to help you track down whatever you’re looking for and to discover resources you didn’t know existed. The Academic Commons also highlights Oxy’s commitment to public and participatory digital scholarship as well as peer-to-peer collaboration and co-curricular support for students.

The Academic Commons building houses the following departments and programs:
