Staff and Departments

The Dartmouth College Library collections are available for anyone to use onsite.  Library patrons must present either a Dartmouth ID card or Library Borrowing Card to borrow materials. New community and non-affiliated library accounts can be registered at the Baker-Berry Circulation Desk.

Acquisitions Services mission is to provide exceptional support services for all collection development activities through prudent stewardship of the materials budget and strong working relations with our customers, colleagues and business partners.

The Biomedical Libraries consist of the Dana Biomedical Library on the Medical School's Hanover campus and the Matthews-Fuller Health Sciences Library (MFHSL) at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC). Our mission is to provide health and life sciences information resources and services that advance research and scholarship, education, and patient-care activities of Geisel School of Medicine, DHMC, The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice (TDI), the Dartmouth College Department of Biological Sciences, and The Dartmouth Center for Health Care Delivery Science.

Learn about books with historical and contemporary mediums, including letterpress printing, digital design and hand-bookbinding. From creating sturdy journals or pop-up books, to printing images from low relief objects, students are encouraged to utilize the Workshop’s bindery, presses, and wide selection of metal and wood typefaces to bring life to their own projects. We offer faculty and curricular support as well.

Metadata Services creates and manages metadata to describe materials in the Dartmouth Library collection, in support of Library Strategic Objectives and Priorities.

The Collection Management and Preservation department is charged with insuring long-term access to the Library’s collections resources making them available for current and future students, faculty, and scholars. This work includes strategic decision making about materials locations and storage as well as preventive and responsive care, including processing of newly cataloged materials, conservation of damaged materials, preservation assessment, disaster recovery, and environmental control. This department manages collections spaces across both the central campus and an offsite facility.

Digital by Dartmouth Library (DxDL) provides free, digital access to nearly three hundred thousand items from our collections - from classical texts to medieval manuscripts to scientific accounts to audiovisual materials.

All visitors are welcome to walk in during our hours of operation. Researchers are encouraged to review our reading room guidelines before on-site collections use. We welcome idle curiosity as well serious research inquiries.

Records Management can help staff and faculty with any records related questions whether you are trying to manage legacy paper files or are struggling to organize your office's shared drive. The maintenance and control of Dartmouth's records is an institutional responsibility and we help ensure all recorded information is managed in a way that best serves employee needs while satisfying the administrative, fiscal, historic, and legal requirements of the College.

We are located in Baker-Berry Library (Baker 232 & the Evans Map Room) and the Sherman Art Library. We support research in all disciplines, with an emphasis on the humanities, social sciences, interdisciplinary studies, and U.S. Federal & international documents.

We offer a variety of opportunities to assist the Dartmouth community with data and computationally-intensive teaching, learning, and research, ranging from individual consultations to ongoing project assistance. We can also help you connect with the right people on- and off-campus using our network of partners.

The Dartmouth library can help faculty, staff and students share their work in ways that engage diverse voices, encourage student contribution, and empower the Dartmouth community to build a more equitable and sustainable knowledge ecosystem.

Teaching & Learning advances the Library’s role in Dartmouth’s educational mission through campus-wide partnerships that foster critical information literacy and lifelong learning.
