About the Library

The GW Libraries are a part of the larger GW Libraries and Academic Innovation, which combines the university's key areas in support of teaching, learning, and research into one, integrated organization led by Dean Geneva Henry.  

The GW Libraries organization is made up of three library buildings. Access to all three buildings is available to all GW students, faculty, staff, alumni and some visitors in certain circumstances. Access to electronic resources is available to anyone in the library buildings and remotely only to GW students, faculty, and staff. 

If you have questions, please Ask Us in-person or by phone, chat or email. You can also Contact Us through our web form.
