Named
for the 11th president of Wells College, Louis Jefferson Long Library
has a collection of over 218,000 volumes and subscribes to almost 400
periodicals and newspapers. Collection strengths are in the
areas of art, history, literature, local history, philosophy, and
women's studies. Long Library features an open-stack system,
individual study carrels, microform readers and a walk-through art
gallery. The library has recently installed wireless
connectivity throughout the facility. Additional features are
a computer network printing lab accessible anywhere on campus, various
academic support services such as The Writing Center, and if laptops
and lattes are your pleasure, the library is also home to the Commons
Café.
The Voyager online
library catalog is provided as part of the library's
integrated library system. This catalog is available both in
the library and from any remote site. Students, faculty and
staff can access their personal library records from the online catalog
and have a personal inventory of borrowed materials.
Long Library has access to numerous electronic
resources.
Many of the databases provide full-text access to thousands
of periodicals. Some of the more well known databases
are: EBSCO Host Research Databases; FirstSearch; Grove Music; JSTOR;
LexisNexis Academic; ProQuest; and PsycInfo. Database
training is available as part of the library's bibliographic
instruction program and by individual appointment.
Additionally, coordinated resource sharing via a computerized
interlibrary
loan network is available to all members of Wells College.
The Wells College Archives is also housed in the library.
