Main Library - George Square

In the wake of the Robbins Report (1961) on higher education, the University expanded fast. The Main Library in George Square, the largest academic library building in Europe, opened to readers in 1967.
Automated procedures were introduced during the 1980s.
The Library acquired papers and libraries of modern Scottish poets, and other writers, and established the University Archives on a formal footing.
