The Library is a vital space that constantly evolves to adapt to the needs of its users, promoting access to knowledge, culture and education in a constantly changing world.

Universidad de Mendoza On May 13, 1998, the University of Mendoza inaugurated its Central Library "Dr. Emilio Descotte" in a building built especially for this purpose, located in the heart of the City of Mendoza next to its House of Higher Studies. Later, the Library was established on the campus located in the Department of San Rafael, with its components and characteristics that define it. Finally, and for more than ten years, the third Library corresponding to the University campus located in Río Cuarto, province of Córdoba. The three libraries work in unison as a large Information Unit whose purpose is to promote learning, research and the sociocultural development of its beloved community of users.

Vision

It was created in the search to provide our users with physical and online spaces conducive to creation, learning, research and collaborative work. These spaces should have quality information resources and services adapted to the growing digital age, thus contributing to the institutional project of our University.
