The Research and Instructional Services Directorate works with MIT faculty, students, and staff to provide the library resources and services required for their success in research, teaching, and learning.  We work to optimize the discovery, access, evaluation, and management of diverse scholarly information sources and types, and offer high-quality spaces for reflective and collaborative work and learning.  By promoting and providing a library environment that anticipates community needs, we sustain a culture of lifelong learning, experimentation, and innovation.
