UNLV is the first Nevada institution to join the distinguished group of public and private research libraries from across the U.S. and Canada. This milestone recognizes the strength of UNLV’s research enterprise as a Carnegie R1 Institution and the essential role the University Libraries play in advancing research, scholarship, and innovation in Las Vegas and Southern Nevada. From Special Collections & Archives to hands-on and immersive spaces such as the Makerspace, Multimedia Studios, and Dreamscape Learn, the Libraries foster discovery, creativity, and academic achievement for a diverse and growing research community.
