Resources for Students

The Libraries staff dedicate themselves to answering your questions and providing access to materials and spaces to learn and explore. They'll tailor and personalize information-seeking techniques and resources to match your particular needs. Let's get you started.

Have a question?

We steward over 3.5 million volumes acquired since Dartmouth’s founding in 1769, along with the institution's records. Whether you seek a physical book, a digital magazine, a movie to stream, or maps, camera equipment, and rare books, we have it all. If you can't find what you need, we'll source it for you!

• Search for books, articles, and more in Library Search.
• Discover resources by subject with our research guides.
• Access materials on reserve for your class.
• Borrow books, videos, technology, and more.
• Access resources from off-campus.

Empowering you on your research journey is at the core of what we do. There are many ways to use library services to get help with a paper, project, or anything in between.

• There’s a subject librarian for every department and school at Dartmouth. Find yours!
• Meet with a librarian for individualized help by booking an appointment online.
• Find out more about how we can help you with research.
• Email us a question or chat in real time with a librarian. Ask us anything!

There's plenty of space in the libraries. You can study in silence, meet with your group, record a podcast, or order a coffee without ever leaving the library.

• We have many library locations for you to choose from, with some open 24 hours! Refer to our opening hours calendar.
• Book a study room to collaborate with classmates.
• Print and scan in the Libraries.
