Kresge library exists to facilitate and promote learning through its physical facilities, dynamic and evolving collections, robust technology, and services performed by professional and skilled support staff.
Construction of Kresge Memorial Library was completed in 1972, and the building was named in memory of Stanley Kresge, a supporter of the College.
The first floor of Kresge contains the library's print and audio-visual collections, an area for personalized reference service, and a variety of library seating such as reading tables, lounge chairs, and individual study carrels.
Wireless Internet is available throughout the building and in the surrounding green space. Wired, public access computers are located in the reference area on the first floor while others are housed in several rooms on the second level.
The second floor houses a classroom, the language lab, print periodical archives, microform collections, a quiet study room, a curriculum lab, and the John Bunyan Room for special collections.
Current print and multi-media collections total over 100,000 volumes.
In addition, the library owns over 40,000 electronic books, offers
access to more than 10,000 electronic full-text journals, magazines and
newspapers (many with backfiles to the 19th century), and subscribes to
nearly 175 electronic databases covering all academic disciplines. Many
of these electronic resources are available through GALILEO, Georgia's
"Virtual Library". Through its membership in OCLC, the world's largest
provider of bibliographic services, Kresge library networks with over
18,000 other institutions worldwide to offer interlibrary loan access
and document delivery service to over 60 million library items.
