W. Frank Steely Library

Welcome to the W. Frank Steely Library, a cornerstone of knowledge and innovation at Northern Kentucky University, located at 1 Louie B Nunn Drive, Newport, Kentucky. As a premier library, we are committed to providing access to world-class resources and fostering an environment of learning and discovery.

Our library proudly offers access to the Web of Science, the world's most trusted and comprehensive citation database. This invaluable resource covers over 115 years of scholarly journal literature across the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities, making it an essential tool for research and academic excellence.

The Steely Library is deeply grateful for the generosity of Greg and Sheila Edwards, whose philanthropic vision has led to the establishment of the Greg and Sheila Edwards Fund for Excellence. This fund supports not only the library itself but also the Friends of Steely Library and the College of Arts and Sciences, enhancing the educational experience for all.

We are also excited to be part of the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) Institute on Open Educational Resources. As the sole representative from the Commonwealth, Northern Kentucky University is dedicated to advancing accessible and affordable instructional materials.
