  The mission of the Robert A. Nicholson University Library is to provide the Anderson University community with relevant information resources in support of the University’s teaching-learning mission. We foster the abilities necessary in finding, evaluating, and using resources, and further, we facilitate the user’s quest in independent intellectual study, discovery, and lifelong learning. The library collection includes over 250,000 books (in-print and electronic), approximately 900 periodical subscriptions, more than 50 periodical databases, a selective depository collection of United States government publications, and the Anderson University and Church of God Archives. Two computer labs, including the 24/7 computer lab, are located in the Library.

  The Nicholson Library Catalog identifies materials located in the Nicholson Library, the Archives, and other campus locations. Catalogs of other Indiana libraries are linked through the "Indiana Libraries" link of the Nicholson Catalog. The "Reserve Desk" feature of the catalog includes the full text of materials placed on reserve by various professors. The library subscribes to more than 50 periodical databases, many of which include the full text of indexed articles and electronic journals. All electronic resources are available to current AU students both on-and off-campus.

  Librarians are available during most hours to assist with information and research needs. Think of the librarian as your "ultimate" search engine. An "Ask a Librarian" link is conveniently located on the Library’s Web site. Class, small group, and individual instruction in research skills and strategies are available. In addition, the librarians create and maintain electronic subject resource guides for virtually every major on campus.
