10 Library Named after the first president of the Seminary, the Carey S. Thomas library is located in the Paul and Marjorie Lewan Learning Resource Center. The library is comprised of volumes carefully selected to provide the best in theological and scholarly literature as an undergirding for the school's curriculum. The present collection totals approximately 185,000 volumes, both in print and electronic format, and is located in the main library in Littleton, Colorado and in the branch library in Glenarden, Maryland. The library offers online bibliographic searching through a variety of academic databases, made available to students through licensing fees paid by the Seminary. The library currently subscribes to approximately 25 print periodicals and offers access to over 40,000 journal titles online. Earlier bound volumes, including back runs of 700 other titles, are located in the bound periodicals area. The library has an online public catalog which may be searched via the Seminary's website. Additionally, the online catalog allows patrons to access their library accounts, request and check on holds, and renew books. An interlibrary loan service at the main library (also accessible from the website) is available for obtaining library materials from other libraries. To honor Dr. Vernon C. Grounds for his years of service as president and chancellor, and in appreciation of the 25,000 volume personal library that he donated to Denver Seminary, the Vernon Grounds Reading Room is located at the west end of the main library, housing his collection. Students on the main campus also have access to the facilities of the Ira J. Taylor Library at the Iliff School of Theology on the University of Denver campus and the Cardinal Stafford Library at St. John Vianney Theological Seminary.
