Smith Library
Herman H. and Louise M. Smith Library currently houses more than 325,000 volumes and has access to more than 38,000 full-text journals. It is the second college in North Carolina to implement a new library catalog, called the OCLC Web-scale Management Services, with Web-based services in an effort to increase access to a wealth of information. The new system allows students to access data in a search platform that’s similar to Google in format and speed. The library houses Media Services, which assists faculty and students with digital productions and presentations. It also houses the Academic Services Center and the Learning Excellence program that caters to individual students’ needs to get the most out of their educational experience at HPU.
