This series contains the records maintained by the library directors and deans office. It documents the varied work of the University Library, including events, programming planning and assessment, public relations campaigns, budgets and financial planning, circulation, collection development, disaster planning, exhibits, online discovery, inter-library loans, data management, and orientation. Library partnerships with other departments on campus are well documented. This series also documents the Library's relationships with other libraries and professional organizations, especially the SUNY consortium, Five Associated University Libraries (FAUL), the Research libraries Group (RLG), American Library Association (ALA) Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Division, New York State Education Department, Broome County Public Library, and the South Central Regional Library Council (SCRLC).

This series' contents are very similar to those found in the administrative records series, but those records were not donated by an identifiable person or office, and so have been kept seperate in their own series.
