The George Mercer Jr. School of Theology Library

HOLDINGS

The library is an Episcopal Resource Center. It holds nearly 30,000 books in religion and other fields and subscribes to both popular and scholarly journals. Media resources are being expanded. Currently, holdings only are listed in a card catalog in the library. The library will soon have an online catalog, available for searching from home. Watch this space for more information.

  • Computers are available for Internet searching and some Office applications.
  • There is a photocopier available for public use.
  • Reference materials do not circulate.
  • Reserve books circulate only by permission of the instructor.
  • Interlibrary loan is not available at this time.

In order to circulate books, patrons first must register with the librarian (an automated registration system is being put into place in the fall of 2007, and even if patrons have previously registered with the librarian, they must do so again). Registration priority is given to clergy and laity in the Diocese of Long Island.
