What's new? See new books and DVDs in Bridge.
February 1, 2012We're trying out a new way to make it easier to see what's new in Bridge, the joint catalog of the Carleton and St. Olaf Libraries. You can view lists of new books, grouped by subject areas and sorted by call number and a list of new DVDs, sorted by title. We'll update these lists at the beginning of each month.
You can now print from your very own laptop!
January 31, 2012At long last, instructions on how to print to campus computers from your very own laptop. No more hunting or waiting for a lab computer just so that you can print out your paper before class!

New Archives database available (beta)
October 13, 2011All recorded information on archival records at Carleton now online for the public to search, view and request.
Carleton Faculty & Staff Scholarship Collection
October 12, 2011The open access Carleton Faculty & Staff Scholarship Collection contains a selection of journal articles published by Carleton faculty and staff since 2009. Each article was submitted by the author/s to the Dean of the College for recognition during the annual Faculty & Staff Scholarship Celebration. The collection represents the beginning of what is often referred to as an “institutional repository” or IR, an online archive where colleges and universities collect and showcase digital versions of the work of the faculty, staff, and sometimes students. For more information, contact Eric Hillemann, College Archivist or Nat Wilson, Digital Archivist.
What do you think of our website and catalog changes?
September 26, 2011The library has implemented some big changes on our website, and with our Bridge catalog. We'd love to hear what you think of them!
Leave us your thoughts, suggestions, concerns and ideas on our Bridge feedback form.
(The form mentions both Carleton and St. Olaf libraries because the Bridge consortium worked on both the new Bridge catalog interface, and our updates to the website. Please feel free to enter your thoughts on anything Carleton library related).
