Library Services

Library Use

Current students or alumni of The King’s may use The King’s Library and borrow materials. They must possess a valid ID card in order to check out materials. Students from other schools with reciprocal agreements with The King’s may also use the library, but need to check-in at the circulation desk on the fourth floor.

Non-students may obtain a library card valid for one year at the circulation desk for a fee of $25.

Interlibrary Loans

If The King’s Library does not own an item, whether it is a book or periodical, we can make a request through inter-library loan. This service makes available to the student millions of titles through OCLC. Borrowing periods vary, as do borrowing fees. The late fee on I.L.L. materials is $1.00 per day. The King’s Library will make every effort to minimize any cost for inter-library loan service. However, the fees may be anywhere from no charge to as much as $20 per item at some institutions. Patrons of The King’s who borrow items from other schools through the I.L.L service should remember that they are representatives of the body of Christ as it is represented at The King’s College & Seminary, and, as such, must treat the policies of these schools as those of The King’s College & Seminary.

Online Databases

The following databases are accessed through The King’s Library web site, and can be searched from anywhere in the world where there is Internet access. Each of these databases has a login and password. The patron must contact the librarian for this information.

Proquest provides indexing, abstracting, and many full-text articles for not only religious periodicals (journals and magazines), but for periodicals in the fields of the humanities, psychology, and multicultural studies (over 3,850 titles).

FirstSearch indexes over 1,400 journal titles. An index lists basic bibliographic information. In addition to indexing, this service now provides full text articles in approximately thirty journal titles.

Religious & Theological Abstracts abstracts over 400 journal titles. You can do a similar search as with FirstSearch, but will always receive an abstract (synopsis) with each "hit."
