Thomas College Library & Service Desk

The library manages the school’s research collection of electronic, print, and audio-visual resources. In addition to more than 13,000 in-house print and media items, the library offers 24/7 on-and off-campus access to general and discipline-specific online resources containing abstracts, full-text articles, and e-books. The library collection includes a wide variety of computer and audio-visual equipment available for short-term loans, such as laptop computers, tablets, digital video camcorders, microphones, and video-data projectors. Any student with a valid Thomas College ID card may borrow materials from the library.

The library contains computer workstations, a reference and general circulating collection and a Service Desk. The library offers a variety of sitting areas and study rooms. The library provides support to the Student Print Center as well as to the second floor Media Lab. Students are encouraged to contact our professional library staff for group or individual assistance in the use of online and print resources, computer applications, and general research techniques. Reciprocal borrowing agreements exist between Thomas College and a number of Waterville-area libraries. Holders of a valid Thomas College photo ID card may borrow items from Waterville-area libraries on a walk-in basis. Students may also request interlibrary loan items that are available through the MINERVA consortium as well as members of the Maine INFONET consortium via the Thomas College Library online catalog. Traditional interlibrary loan is available for borrowing materials from libraries outside of the state of Maine.
