It joins other libraries on campus—collectively called the Hesburgh Libraries—to contain approximately 3.4 million volumes, more than 135,000 electronic titles, more than three million microform units, and more than 43,000 audiovisual items in support of learning, teaching and research. </p><ul class="links"> <li><a href="http://www.library.nd.edu/">Website</a></li> <li><a href="http://tour.nd.edu/locations/hesburgh-library">Virtual Tour</a></li> </ul>
