Beeghly Library, the intellectual heart of Heidelberg University, is housed in an unusual round three-story building. The library provides an inviting spot for students to gather, do research and work on individual and group projects. Wireless throughout, the library includes a computer lab, classrooms, a lounge and study rooms.
The Instructional Resource Center is located on the lower level of the library and provides a curriculum collection including sample textbooks, "big books", audiovisual resources, supplies, and personal assistance.
Search the Beeghly Library Catalog for print, electronic, or media items owned by Heidelberg or expand your search to the OPAL Consortium of Ohio Private Academic Libraries, or OhioLINK, the statewide consortium of academic libraries, or SearchOhio, a group of Ohio public libraries. Students, faculty and guest patrons can request materials from other member libraries, and recieve the material within a few days. Interlibrary Loan service is available to Heidelberg students, faculty and staff for items that cannot be borrowed directly. Browse the list of New Materials.
More than 125 Research Databases provide references to articles, with links to full text or information on the libraries owning the source. Additional databases provide full-text reference sources, collections of literary works, educational videos, news photographs, classical music recordings and many more resources.
Students at the Arrowhead Park Campus in Maumee have full access to the resources of the main campus library.
The library staff enjoys working directly with students, providing research assistance and class presentations. Contact a staff member for Help with research questions, about a circulation issue, interlibrary loan, or to schedule a class presentation. Use the "Puzzle Piece" to instant message a librarian.
Beeghly Library contains a collection of print and electronic Federal Government Documents, and is a designated selective Federal depository library open to the general public for Government information research.
As part of its mission, Beeghly Library is open to community residents to assist them in their research needs. The reference staff works with area teachers in preparing their high school students for college level work. Area residents can access the Beeghly Library catalog, borrow materials from the library and from OPAL and OhioLINK libraries and use the research databases while on campus.
The Friends of Beeghly Library at Heidelberg University serves as a support group for the library providing assistance with special projects, such as the spring Book Sale, and sponsoring special events, such as the Edible Books Fest, and exam-week snacks in the library.
