While we value the intimate nature of the community we build with each incoming class, we are nevertheless committed to providing a network of academic resources whose quality is consistent with that of a much larger academic institution. Lesley students have access to the facilities of the University at-large as well as to the riches and resources just beyond our door. The position of our close-knit community at the heart of one of the world's most prestigious academic centers allows us to have the best of both worlds.

Lesley University Library supports learning and creative inquiry by welcoming all students, both on- and off-campus, to use our services, resources, and spaces.
Learn all about the research process from our expert team of librarians, who will help you investigate the political, social, and economic dimensions of how we create, access, and use information.
Visit our spaces in the Sherrill Library on the South campus, and the Moriarty Library on the Porter campus, to ask for help, to borrow materials using your student ID, or to find a comfortable spot to focus on work.
Help is available 24/7 from our Self-Service Portal, and you can also ask us questions in person, on the phone, by e-mail, and by chatting with us online. You may request a research consultation for 1-on-1 help from a librarian, also available by video conference, by phone, and in person.
The library’s online research portal makes all of our journal, eBook, digital image, and streaming video databases easily accessible, even when you’re off campus. Visit the library website at research.lesley.edu to start exploring.
Lesley University Archives
The mission of the University Archives is to preserve the history of Lesley from its founding in 1909 to the present.

Collections include manuscripts, photographs, memorabilia, and the papers of former faculty and administrators. Historic publications include Lesley course catalogs, handbooks, yearbooks and student newspapers. Visitors to the Archives receive assistance in finding and viewing materials, conducting research, and learning about the history of Lesley University. The Archives Web site offers information about collections and services, and features online exhibits chronicling Lesley's history (research.lesley.edu/archives).
