A colonial school, Rutgers will celebrate it’s 250th anniversary in 2016. There are 18 schools and colleges (including a medical school) on 2,688 acres across New Jersey. We are among the top 25 public universities, as ranked by U.S. News & World Report. We are an NCAA Division I School and a member of the Big Ten and Committee on Institutional Cooperation.

Our location in central New Jersey and close proximity to New York City makes us ideally suited for scholars exploring all types of libraries and information centers, as well as evolving information technologies and their users.
