2.3 Libraries

The Claremont Colleges Library serves the five undergraduate colleges and the two graduate institutions. Librarians work with faculty to develop library collections and to facilitate effective use of those collections by both faculty and students. The library’s resources include approximately two million volumes; access to articles in over 50,000 journals; hundreds of databases providing ready access to a variety of bibliographic,

full-text, and multimedia information; and media such as DVDs and CDs. The Claremont Colleges Digital Library provides access to a growing number of digital collections from the Colleges as well as from library Special Collections. Scholarship@Claremont provides a digital repository for both faculty and student work. The library catalog (Blais) and other online resources are available from the library website: libraries.claremont.edu.

Honnold/Mudd Library, located between 8th and 10th and Columbia and Dartmouth, houses both general and special collections in the arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences. The main book collections, media, and some browsing periodicals are held in Honnold/Mudd. A small collection of books and most of the paper journals are housed in the CUC Records Center, located at 2038 W. 11th Street in Upland.
