Jacksonville State University - Houston Cole Library

Jacksonville State University - Houston Cole Library Welcome to the official page of the Houston Cole Library at Jacksonville State University, Jacksonville, Alabama. We hope you find our services useful.

Welcome to Jacksonville State University's Houston Cole Library! Named for President Emeritus Dr. Houston Cole, the Houston Cole Library was built in 1972. The facility is a thirteen-story building divided into eight micro-libraries. Floors two through seven and nine through ten are divided into public subject areas and are managed by subject specialist librarians. Each public service librarian is

responsible for collection maintenance and development, supervision of student employees, liaison activities, and instruction. The Library is staffed with 15 professional and 18 para-professional employees. We are here to assist you with your research and information needs. You can contact our librarians via virtual chat, phone, email, text, and/or in person. Just click on Ask Us to connect with our librarians or submit a question. We invite you to visit the library often (in both its physical and virtual locations) and to enjoy the wealth of resources and information available through our services.
