The DePaul University Library is comprised of the John T. Richardson Library and the Loop Library. Reflecting DePaul’s institutional commitment to teaching and learning, DePaul librarians and library staff have embraced a vision for the library as "a center for intellectual inquiry and academic engagement beyond the classroom, building and inspiring the campus and community partnerships distinctive of a DePaul education."
In common with all academic libraries, the DePaul University Library is committed to supporting the teaching, learning, and scholarly missions of its parent institution, to promoting equitable access to information, and to serving as a trusted steward of its resources, collections, and cultural heritage.
Beyond these commitments, the DePaul University Library is distinguished by its support of the distinctive blend of characteristics Catholic, Vincentian, and urban that define DePaul University. Your gift during the Blue Demon Challenge helps us work toward our goal of developing faculty, staff, and students who are prepared to engage the challenges of the twenty-first century as socially-responsible and information-literate citizens.
