The New ASU Story:
Research

	Basic and applied research preceded attainment of university status in 1958, but establishment of seven new colleges, construction of Hayden Library and conferring of the first doctorates in the 1960s enabled 30 years of research program development. This progress was recognized when ASU was named a Research I university by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in 1994.

The ASU Library acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU Library acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. We are advocates for the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within contemporary library practice. ASU Library welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to the Library.
