Zwingle Resource Center

The goal of the Zwingle Library and Resource Center (ZRC) is to serve as the premier resource for the best published research and scholarship on higher education governance, trusteeship, and the academic presidency.

The Zwingle Library and Resource Center's mission is twofold: respond to members' informational needs and support empirical research and scholarship.

The resources of the Zwingle Library are accessible to AGB members at no cost. Among those member services:

• Access to a database of articles, books, reports, and other literature searchable on AGB's Web site, or to database searches performed for you by the Zwingle Library and Resource Center librarian.
• Customized responses to questions with your deadlines in mind.
• Copies of sample documents collected from all types and sizes of institutions.
• Copies of articles from Trusteeship.
• Access to customized annotated bibliographies.
• Links to other helpful higher education-related associations, organizations, and databases.
