University of Miami

The University of Miami Libraries rank among the top research libraries in North America. Located in the main campus in Coral Gables is the Otto G. Richter Library which is the University of Miami's main library. It houses collections that serve the arts, architecture, humanities, social sciences, and the sciences. It is a depository for federal and state government publications. Rare books, maps, manuscript collections, and the University Archives are housed in the Special Collections Division and in the Cuban Heritage Collection. Otto G. Richter Library's collections are stored in a six-story high tower that unfortunately is hidden from view behind the row of tall palm trees on the left. Students conduct research and study mainly inside the three story high wing seen on the right side.

Other libraries are distributed among several large campuses specialized for Music, Atmospheric Sciences, Business, Architecture, Law, and several more for Medicine.
