The learning commons collections consist of high-quality information resources and equipment that support study in all academic programs offered at the College. The collections — developed with the principle of currency, consistency, and balance — have the depth, breadth, and variety of formats both physical and digital to accommodate a broadrange of inquiry and learning style preferences. The library’s catalogue and online resources can be accessed through its website.
