10 LIBRARY AND WRITING CENTER Named after the first president of the Seminary, the Carey S. Thomas library is located in the Paul and Marjorie Lewan Learning Resource Center in Littleton, Colorado. The DC Campus Library is hosted at First Baptist Church of Glenarden Ministry Center in Glenarden, Maryland. Professional Assistance The Library and Writing Center team is comprised of professional staff and student employees who are eager to assist patrons with locating resources and providing writing services including editing and tutoring. Library Collections 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. Between the two campus libraries, over 185,000 print volumes are available including subscriptions for twenty-five journals with back issues of over 700 titles housed at the Littleton campus library. The library offers online bibliographic searching through a variety of academic databases, made available to students through licensing fees paid by the Seminary. Most of the library's online resources are accessible through the Digital Theological Library (DTL) whose mission is to provide co-owning institutions with the highest quality digital resources in religious and theological studies at the lowest possible costs. Over 600,000 eBooks, 40,000+ journal titles, 5,000+ streaming Counseling videos, and 2,000,000+ theses and dissertations are available through the DTL. 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. Resource Locating 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 (ILL) service at the main library (also accessible from the website) is available for obtaining library materials from other libraries. Campus students can submit print and electronic ILL requests while distance students can request chapter and article ILL scans. Students on the Littleton 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. In addition, Denver Seminary is a member of the Atla Reciprocal Borrowing Program where members of participating libraries can show proof of current enrollment at another participating library to borrow materials based on its local lending policies. Writing Center The Writing Center provides academic resources and assistance to develop and strengthen students' skills during their academic career. Students are encouraged to take advantage of Writing Center editing services, tutoring sessions, and writing guides available from both campuses.
