Our evolving vision of the Phillips Library includes these core elements:
- A welcoming, convenient and comfortable environment that fosters the development of a community of learners among our staff, students and faculty.
- Information resources that adequately support each of the University’s academic divisions and thereby enhance the truth discovery process for our students and faculty.
- A leadership role in offering students and faculty expert assistance and instruction in the discovery, use and documentation of information resources.
- A highly visible and accessible university space for library staff, faculty, students and other administrative support units to exchange ideas and collaborate to achieve the University’s mission of promoting Faith, Discovery, Leadership and Community.
The library currently contains about 200,000 bound volumes and a rapidly expanding list of scholarly information databases that provide convenient access to e-books, journal articles and a variety of data sources. Included in our e-library are more than 10,000 professional and scholarly journal publications that are carefully chosen to support each of the University’s academic programs. A collection of 2,000 DVDs and VHS tapes-documentaries and popular movies- is also available for students and faculty.
Our library staff includes four faculty librarians who provide research assistance and information literacy instruction to individuals and groups. A faculty librarian with theological training maintains the theology collection of approximately 43,000 volumes. Our main desk services, resource acquisitions, cataloging and interlibrary loans are provided by four highly competent, student/faculty-focused employees, with the help of several dedicated student assistants.
The Phillips Library is a founding member of the Maryland Interlibrary Consortium and collaborates with Hood College, Baltimore International College, Washington Adventist University (formerly Columbia Union College), Loyola College-Notre Dame University Library, and Stevenson University. Through this consortium, Mount students and faculty have direct access to the collections of each member library through electronic and physical delivery services.
