The University of Calgary is a comprehensive research university, ranked one of Canada’s top seven research universities and a member of the 13 most research intensive universities in Canada (the G13), combining the best of long-established university traditions with the city of Calgary’s vibrant energy and diversity. Founded in 1966, the University of Calgary operates under the authority of Alberta’s Post-secondary Learning Act (Mandate Statement).
The U of C is nearing completion of its largest capital expansion ever. Several new buildings will increase capacity for more students and a host of new teaching and research activities. These major developments, including the Taylor Family Digital Library (TFDL), the U of C downtown campus (opened fall 2010) and the new Energy, Environment and Experiential Learning building, are fulfilling distinct academic strategies and creating progressive learning environments.

Since then, 5 different library branches have been opened in order to provide students with a greater amount of literary choice in many subjects. In addition, the U of C will be the first library system in North America to contain a video game library.
