University Libraries

Stetson University has three separate libraries: one each on the DeLand campus, and the Gulfport Law campus. Each library provides students and faculty with access to electronic and print resources, computers, meeting spaces, and study spaces in a fully networked environment. Access to the duPont-Ball Library's resources is limited to students, faculty, and staff at the DeLand campus.  Access to the resources provided by the Dolly & Homer Hand Law Library is limited to faculty, students, and staff at the Gulfport Law and Tampa Law campuses.

The duPont-Ball Library librarians and staff advance teaching and lifelong learning, collaboration, and innovation through library services, information resources, technologies, and facilities.

The duPont-Ball Library is a vibrant hub for research, creativity, and collaboration. With expansive collections in print and digital formats, including books, journals, scores, and multimedia, the library supports every academic discipline. Access to a wide range of databases, streaming media, and specialized resources ensures students and faculty have what they need to explore, learn, and create.

Modern workspaces include quiet zones, collaborative areas, group study rooms, a podcasting space, and a 24-hour computer lab. Students can borrow laptops, tablets, cameras, and other tech tools to support their academic work. Expert librarians are available in person and online to help with everything from quick questions to in-depth research.

The library is also home to an Innovation Lab where students can experiment with 3D printing, work on sewing projects, and try out emerging technologies.

The Writing Center, located on the main floor, offers peer tutoring to help students strengthen their writing skills.

The Hollis Family Student Success Center (HFSSC), located on the second floor, is a welcoming space designed to support every student’s academic journey. It offers flexible study areas, walk-in services, tutoring sessions, and one-on-one appointments with professionals in Success Coaching, Tutoring, Advising, and Accessibility Services.
