The consolidation of their academic libraries led to the creation of a unified central library.

In 2004, RUCL moved to its new headquarters at ul. Cegielniana 12 (now ul. Prof. Stanisława Pigonia 8), housed in a modern, fully accessible facility. One of the notable innovations was the implementation of an electronic book ordering system.[30]

The RUCL provides a wide selection of both printed and digital resources that reflect the academic and research profile of the university.

RUCL also serves as a training centre, offering free workshops, courses, and seminars—on-site and online, in Polish and English—primarily for UR students, researchers, and staff, but also for high school students and members of partner research centres.

### Mission and priorities

[edit]

The mission of the Rzeszów University Central Library extends beyond collection management. It supports the broader academic and local community through its strategic objectives:
