Erskine Theological Seminary students, faculty, and staff have access to electronic databases, electronic journals, and electronic books provided by McCain Library as well as access to the internet with the provided desktop computers or the use of the wireless network with a personal laptop. The book collection is available for checkout (excluding reference books) or use in the library. Library users will be able to checkout books using their valid Erskine ID or Library Borrowers Card.
An emphasis of the book collection is Reformed worship due to the proximity of the Institute for Reformed Worship, also located at the Seminary’s Columbia location. However, other subject areas are also represented, including biblical studies (i.e. commentaries), church art/architecture, and systematic theology. The book collection is searchable in the McCain Library Online Catalog along with the holdings at McCain Library on the Due West campus.
