Gould Library collections are designed to provide a wide range of materials and resources that directly advance, reflect, and support the College’s current and evolving curriculum.
We provide content in many formats, including print and electronic books , print and electronic journals, magazines, newspapers, research databases and digital collections, images, media, and music, maps, data, government documents,and microfilm.
While even an exceptional liberal arts collection cannot own everything, the library participates in multi-institutional partnerships to maximize and expand access to resources through Interlibrary Loan, and key consortia partnerships including the Carleton/St. Olaf Bridge Consortium, HathiTrust, and the Center for Research Libraries.
