The library has over 180,000 volumes in its collection, which is organized according to the Library of Congress classification system. If you are not familiar with the LC system, ask a librarian to explain it. All materials are in the online catalog by author, title, subject, keyword, or call number. The card catalog may be used to access materials added to the library's collection prior to June 1992.
Access is by author, title, or subject.
Stack guides and floor plans are posted throughout the library to direct you to where the book is kept. If you have difficulty finding any item, please ask a staff member to assist you. Photographs, letters, and other files reflecting the history of the college and information about early students are available from the college archivist. Certain materials do not circulate and are to be used in the archives reading room only. The music department's collection of scores and sound recordings will be found here.
