CORAL is thrilled to welcome Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) as our newest member! Not only are they joining our network of research and academic libraries, but they also hold the distinction of being our farthest university, expanding CORAL’s reach beyond the San Antonio area. We’re excited to collaborate with them and strengthen our community of library professionals.

Mary and Jeff Bell Library: Supporting Research & Learning
The Mary and Jeff Bell Library plays a vital role in TAMU-CC’s mission by being an indispensable partner in academic excellence and lifelong learning. Dedicated to closing socio-economic gaps in access to knowledge and technology, the library ensures that all students—regardless of background—have the tools they need to succeed. As the library of both an HSI and MSI, Bell Library is committed to creating an inclusive space where all feel welcome and can openly share ideas. Through innovative services and cutting-edge technology, the library empowers research, creative thought, and digital awareness. Their forward-thinking approach has a positive impact on the cultural and intellectual development of their users, making them a key player in shaping the university’s future.
We’re excited to have TAMU-CC and the Mary and Jeff Bell Library as part of CORAL and look forward to working together to advance library services through collaboration and shared expertise.
