Regular use of the library’s resources is an important part of a student’s academic and personal success. Library staff are available to assist students in finding materials in the collection, compiling bibliographies, using computer equipment and software applications, and accessing print and electronic resources in both group and individualized instruction.
The library’s collection excels in art theory and aesthetics, art biographies, art movements, and scholarly publications on diverse artists and mediums throughout history. Holdings include more than 30,000 fine art books, 2,500 independent and educational films on DVD, 30 art periodical subscriptions, and 2,500 music CDs. The catalog can be searched at https://prattmunson.edu/library. Students are also given access to, and training on, more than 180 full and partial text, image, and video streaming research databases on site.
The library features a special collection of reserved class materials designated by faculty. Interlibrary loan service is also available, free of charge, for materials from outside libraries. The student’s identification card is also a library card and should be presented when borrowing materials. Items may be borrowed and renewed for generous loaning periods. Fines are owed for items returned late.
Tutoring services are offered in the Writing Lab in the library. Study space is available throughout the library. The lounge may be used for visiting with friends, enjoying snacks and beverages, and watching movies.
