Best and Biggest  4 Star Rating - Very good

By Salma A. | insider_guru Insider Guru | Rank: 402

This is the biggest library I have seen so far. It has 8 floors. The floors keep getting quieter as you move up. So, the 8th floor is the quietest and 1st floor the noisiest. There is also a small park(part of SJSU) at the back, in case you want go and get a stroll there.

They have a huge variety of magazines - local and international. Since, its such a big library, I am always looking for help and that I get from their friendly staff. Their media section is just remarkable. I am able to find almost everything in this libary- from kids books to amazing novels, from kids cartoons to international films. My husband used to go here a lot when he was in SJSU. According to him, they have a good collection of research materials. They also have a lot of laptop stations.

Overall a good library, but can get very noisy in the lower 3 levels. Also, they don't have strict rules about using cell phones. The library is part of SJSU but I have heard complaints from students about the library being closed down earlier.
