Library Materials

Wright State's focus on undergraduate education is illustrated by the fact that undergraduates are the primary borrowers of library materials. Graduate students comprise a large part of the library user base as well. In addition to books--which are the most borrowed materials--the library provides users with audio and video equipment, scientific calculators, DVDs, music CDs, games, kits, and museum passes.
