Located in the E. Margaret Fulton Communications Centre since 1989, Mount Saint Vincent University’s Library serves as a physical and virtual environment that supports and contributes to MSVU’s research community.

The Library engages in a number of outreach and scholarly activities, including: offering LIBR2100: Library Research, a course designed to equip students with effective information literacy; maintaining the MSVU E-Commons, a repository of scholarly materials produced at MSVU; facilitating instructional sessions and workshops to promote academic integrity; and building community partnerships through the Learning Commons model. MSVU’s Library also contains one of the strongest 2SLGBTQI+ collections in Atlantic Canada in the Women’s Studies collection.

On January 18, 1974, the President’s Administrative Committee determined that a university archives should be established at MSVU, and since then an archives section has operated under the direction of the University Librarian. The MSVU Archives houses the institutional records of Mount Saint Vincent College and University, including faculty and alumnae collections, as well as select community records pertaining to social justice issues.
