Weis Library at Columbia Union College has access to over 55 million bibliographic records, including the collections in many local libraries through an on-line database. An interlibrary loan system makes it possible to obtain materials that Weis Library does not have. Materials can be checked out with a student ID card for four weeks and renewed once.
