The American University Library strives to enable the success of our researchers and students. As a member of a mid-sized, private, non-profit university, and as a member of the Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC), we are strategically positioned to provide three key attributes: a rich array of resources and materials to our researchers and students, a community network which connects scholars across location and discipline, and expert and personalized guidance through the entire research process. We do this by facilitating access to information in all formats, whether through our own collections or through the collections of our affiliates, so that our researchers can put their hands on what they need, when they need it. We teach researchers and students how to locate, assess, and use the information that meets their needs, and we do all this in a welcoming atmosphere – whether physical or virtual – that supports a full range of intellectual endeavors. We also provides services for alumni, including alumni borrowing and off-site database access through AU's Alumni network. Additional resources are available for non-alumni neighbors, including paid associate borrower memberships and a variety of public events throughout the year.

Eisenhower to create a school of practitioners prepared for foreign policy beyond the U.S.–Soviet rivalry. Since 1957, SIS has prepared thousands of graduates to represent their country in the global arena by "waging peace" and employing the hallmarks of thoughtful diplomacy.SIS is the largest school of international relations in the United States, enrolling more than 2,000 students from over 150 countries.

In 1934, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt began implementing New Deal programs that, among other things, sought to increase “practical contacts between the collegiate and educational world and the operations of government.” He believed that the intersection of academia and public service would result in better-informed decision making, not only for Depression-era America, but also for future generations to come. From his vision, the School of Public Affairs (SPA) at American University was born. Over the past eight decades, SPA has embraced FDR’s vision as it cultivated a culture of lasting impact -- to empower those who seek knowledge, to conduct and apply research, to build a bridge between academic thought and policy planning, and to inspire change at every level. Today, with more than 1,600 current students and more than 20,000 alumni, SPA’s faculty and students continue to tackle complex issues with thoughtful research that educates, informs, and promotes change across a broad field of study. From knowledge to action to impact.
