The Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library comprises the heart of UM's library system. Holdings include over 902,000 volumes distributed on five levels in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences disciplines as well as extensive collections of periodicals, maps, U.S. Government documents, United Nations publications, and microforms. The Reserve Materials Collection makes available frequently used materials that supplement courses currently being taught at the University. Archives and Special Collections include significant items on Montana history, Montana writers, businesses, and political figures, including former Ambassador and Senator Mansfield's congressional papers, and the official records of the University. GrizNet is the library's online public access catalog to its varied collections. LaserNet is the library's electronic resources network, providing access to current periodical literature from over 100 databases. Both GrizNet and LaserNet provide for external dial-up computer access. Interlibrary Loan supplements the collection, offering access to other information worldwide.

The Mansfield Library Instructional Media Services (IMS) is a centralized audiovisual resource of media materials, equipment, and production services located on the first floor of the Social Sciences Building. It incorporates viewing and listening facilities for all standard media formats such as video and CD recordings; Mac and PC computers for previewing multimedia software and for accessing the electronic resources of the Mansfield Library; and a do-it-yourself multimedia development workstation. Music scores and music reference works are also available for convenient use by listeners. All materials are circulated as library materials to faculty and enrolled students. Audiovisual equipment is loaned to both students and faculty to facilitate the use of non-print materials in connection with academic pursuits.

The media collection has nearly 100,000 items on GrizNet. Items include motion pictures, slides, filmstrips, videotapes, audio tape recordings, books on tape, videodiscs, phonograph records, CDs, art prints, study prints, transparencies, maps, and interactive multimedia software. The film and video collection also enjoys a national reputation through interlibrary loan and film rental.

In addition to their media collection, the Mansfield Library Instructional Media Services offers instructional products: color copying from slides, negatives, and original material and xerographic copying; color slides from computer data; color and B &W film processing and general photography; slide, text, and graphic scanning; poster lamination and shrink wrapping; fax service; audiotape and videotape duplication; color transparencies; and all types of audiovisual equipment.

The College of Technology libraries at both the East and West Campuses contain collections of over 13,000 items, including books, journals, videotapes, films, filmstrips, and audio tape recording, supporting the curriculum of the College. The East Campus Library offers Westlaw and Montlaw electronic resources as well as access to the electronic resources of the Mansfield Library on the main campus.

All areas provide for a variety of orientation opportunities designed to acquaint students with general and specific subject-oriented resources. Regular, interim, and holiday hours are permanently posted at each site. More detailed information about the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library can be found on the web at: http://www.lib.umt.edu
