The Robertson Library provides a major research base for the province of Prince Edward Island. 
 
Constructed in the mid 1970s, the Library is evolving with the rapidly developing information technologies and the changing concept of information. 
 
The challenge for the Robertson Library is to provide a local collection which is supportive of the university‘s curriculum and to provide access to worldwide research-related resources.
