Dean's Welcome Message
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Western Carolina University’s Hunter Library.
I am very pleased that you have come to visit and I am sure that you will have a great
experience. The library’s website including the online catalog has a vast array of
information. Hunter Library serves as the Information Hub of the campus for your learning
and scholarly research and is our virtual door to the world of scholarly works.
The library building provides a variety of spaces for individual and group study and
collaborative work. Hunter Library’s outstanding faculty and staff are constantly
looking for ways to improve the library’s resources and how to assist with your informational
needs for learning, teaching or research. Teaching and research assistance are available
through email, phone, chat services, and in-house classrooms. Our Instructional Services
faculty also help distance education students as well as those who are taking classes
at Biltmore Park. The Special Collections unit at Hunter Library is the repository
of local and regional history. The unit’s mission is to collect, preserve, digitize,
and make available many important and unique papers and documents relevant to the
Western Carolina’s region. The library also celebrates and exhibits many cultural
events throughout the year.
Whether you visit us online at www.wcu.edu/hunter-library/ or come to our building, I invite you to browse our print and online resources. Join
