Likewise for full-time, adjunct, and professional associate faculty members in all disciplines. The Mercy College Library System is a member of two resource-sharing library consortiums in the greater New York area. These partnerships enhance your access to actual and virtual library resources. The Dobbs Ferry Main Library holds about 150,000 book titles, about 15,000 audiovisual titles, and over 1,300 magazine and journal subscriptions in hard copy. These are supplemented by access to some full texts of journal articles available through online subscriptions, as well as substantial backruns of many journals in hard copy volumes or on microfilm.
Collections span the major subject fields, except for the applied sciences.
Much current ordering is concentrated in the social sciences and the business, health, and education professions. Almost all materials are in English, with some scattered volumes in Spanish. Microform collections, housed in various library locations, include The Library of American Civilization and Library of English Literature, which are ultrafiche reprints of mainly 19th century history and literature books. The Library also holds Education Resources Information Center documents from 1980 to the present, as well as the Kraus Curriculum Library. A small Curriculum Library is located on the second floor, accessible via the staircase behind the circulation desk.
