The Library's holdings consist of an extensive physical and online collection of books, ebooks, periodicals, and audio/video materials. The Library provides 24/7 remote access to all of its subscription online databases and to its online catalog. Library staff is available to help our patrons find what they need in our collection.
In addition to serving the information and research needs of students, faculty researchers, online learners, and the public, the Library has been established to serve as the College's Archives and Document Center providing for the centralization of important institutional documents.
Archives and Document Center

Books & Media
The College's physical collection of print books and media (including DVDs and CDs) is searchable via the online catalog at www.login-libraries.org. This catalog also contains the holdings of other member libraries in the LOGIN consortium. Your valid, barcoded college library/ID card may be used to check out books and other materials from LOGIN member libraries. As an academic library, RowanSJ uses the Library of Congress Classification system with call numbers serving as the book's address on the shelf.
Children's Lit
