Library and Learning Commons
The Corette Library and Simperman Learning Commons support and advance the learning and research of Carroll students, the instruction by Carroll faculty, and the growth of our wider community by providing access to knowledge and information.
The Library is designed to help students with their information and research needs: library student workers, library staff and librarians are always available to assist you. Services offered include one-on-one research and reference help, bibliographic instruction including assistance using the bibliographic data and research management tool Zotero, interlibrary loans, access to course reserves, and more. Corette Library’s collection includes physical and electronic journals and books, DVDs and technology for in-house use. To provide additional access to resources to the College’s faculty and students, the Library maintains memberships in the following organizations: Treasure State Academic Information & Library Services (TRAILS), Center for Research Libraries, LYRASIS, National Network of Libraries of Medicine and Online Computer Library Center (OCLC). Through the TRAILS membership, the Library shares an online catalog, which provides quick and easy access to materials in 24 academic and tribal libraries in the State of Montana, including University of Montana Missoula and MSU Libraries located in Billings, Bozeman, Havre, and Great Falls. Electronic library resources are available 24/7/365 both on- and off-campus to students, faculty and staff from the library website.
The Library and Learning Commons offer a variety of study areas and work spaces for group and individual use including 9 private study rooms, a quiet study space and a makerspace downstairs, and two computer labs on the ground floor. A color printer/copier/scanner is also available for use near the computer labs.
The Library has a physical archive and a digital repository; the repository, called Carroll Scholars, provides global access and visibility to undergraduate student research and digitized Carroll College historical materials.
