The library also provides access to over 227 electronic databases and has over 10 million archival and manuscript items.

The Ralph Brown Draughon Library is named in honor of Dr. Ralph Brown Draughon, president of Auburn University from 1947 to 1965, and a moving force behind the construction of the original portion of the Library. With the completion of a 207,000 square foot addition in 1991, the Library has a seating capacity of 2,500 designed to serve the study, teaching, and research needs of Auburn students, faculty, and staff.
