Ask A Librarian: Seminary library services

As a seminary student, you have several options for accessing print books.

1. If you live near another theological library, you may be able to benefit from our ATLA library reciprocal borrowing program. This allows you to use and borrow books from member seminary and college libraries. See this page for a list of participating libraries. To use this program, email us at library@lancasterseminary.edu and we'll prepare a letter of introduction that will allow you to open an account at a partner library.

2. If you need access to a specific chapter or article from a book, we can provide a scan. Email us at library@lancasterseminary.edu to send us your request.

3. In certain circumstances, we may be able to mail a book to you. Email us at library@lancasterseminary.edu, and we'll work with you to get you what you need.
