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 1.3 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 100 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, in Dillon at The Carson Library of The University of Montana-Western, and in Helena at The University of Montana-Helena.
