Truxal Library - Comparing Academic & Public Libraries

If it is not convenient for you to get to the Anne Arundel Community College's Truxal Library, you may be able to start your research at a public library. It is important for you to know how public and academic libraries differ and how they are the same.

Academic Libraries

  • Collect resources to meet the needs of their students, faculty, and staff
  • Tend to collect more scholarly materials to support the classes at their institutions
  • Have staff that may already be familiar with your topics and research assignments

Public Libraries

  • Collect resources to meet the needs of children and adults in the community
  • Tend to collect more popular materials

Both Public and Academic Libraries

  • Have staff members who will do their best to help you find answers to your questions
  • Provide services that can help you obtain your resources
