The Northwestern University Library is the principal library for the Evanston campus of Northwestern University. The library holds 4.6 million volumes, making it the 11th largest library at a private university. The building was designed in brutalist style by Walter Netsch of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. Construction started in 1966 and the library opened in 1970. The library succeeded the Charles Deering Library as the main library on campus. The Deering Library was connected to the main library through construction, and continues to house the University's special collections. Until the building's completion in 1970, the Deering Library, now connected to the University Library, served as the primary library for the Evanston campus.
Along with the other institutions in the Committee on Institutional Cooperation, the Northwestern University Library joined the Google Book Search project on June 6, 2007.
