The University of Montana libraries are teaching and research libraries
that provide an array of information resources and services in support
of the curricular and research programs of the University. These resources
include traditional library collections and electronic access to a
network of research databases, e-journal packages, electronic journal
subscriptions, and a Web-based library catalog. Library services include
in depth research and reference assistance, an extensive instruction
program integrated into the university curriculum, and full-service
computing and copying facilities. Extensive services for the distance
education students and faculty are available to provide an equitable
educational experience.
The Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library comprises the heart of UM's
library system. Collections exceed 1.2 million bound volumes, access
to over 5,000 print and electronic journals, depository collection
and an archives and special collections. These collections are supplemented
by an active interlibrary loan service through which the resources
of other libraries are made available to students and faculty. The
Mansfield Library is open seven days a week for 98 hours during the
academic semester. Library resources in support of the Missoula College
of Technology are located on the East Campus. Students and faculty
at both campuses have access to all library resources and services.
Over 90 public workstations throughout the building are wired for
fast and stable Internet connectivity in support of electronic information
resources. A state-of-the-art Student Learning Center underscores
the goal of the library as a learning library in which students learn
how to access and evaluate information in support of their advancing
academic careers. Study carrels, group study rooms, and study tables
on all floors of the library provide quiet study locations.
Affiliated library collections of The University of Montana system
are located in Butte at Montana Tech and at the College of Technology-Montana
Tech and in Dillon at The Carson Library of The University of Montana-Western.
