The mission of the F.D. Bluford Library at N.C. A&T State is to support and advance academic scholarship and research at N.C. A&T through services, collections, technologies, staff expertise and spaces. The library is committed to ensuring access to global information resources that inspire exploration, discovery and personal growth. The physical facility offers wireless access throughout four levels, individual study spaces, group and collaboration rooms, and public computers. The library maintains a balanced collection of circulating print and non-print materials, with an ever growing collection of electronic resources available for local and remote access or for download to mobile devices. Archival collections documenting the history of the University and the region are also available.
Only a small amount of A&T State University's digital content is housed in Gateway, primarily items that were digitized as part of the Textiles, Teachers, and Troops project. Most is housed on A&T's own website.
