Library Services

The Blaine S. Kern Library, the heart of intellectual pursuit on campus, provides resources and services to complement the educational and research activities of the students, faculty, and staff of University of Holy Cross. Librarians offer general or specialized instruction to users one-on-one or in visits to classes at the request of faculty.

The library has a comprehensive collection, which includes print and electronic books and periodicals, audiovisual materials, and electronic databases. It serves as a selective depository for Federal Government documents. Special collections include Genealogy; the Richard Dixon History of Algiers Collection; the Thomas E. Ellerman, S. M. Streetcar Collection; and the Tom Fox (Editor) Papers. Students, faculty, and staff have remote access to electronic books and databases 24 hours/7 days a week. For materials not owned by the Library, students, faculty and staff may submit interlibrary loan requests.

The Library is a member of LOUIS: the Louisiana Library Network and participates in the LOUIS Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement.
