Resources
Bellarmine's library online catalog accesses a collection which includes approximately 31,000 books and audio visual materials on the shelves for student use. The Library collection also includes more than 900 videos in DVD and VHS format, as well as approximately 40 periodical titles in hard copy.
All areas of Bellarmine’s curriculum are supported by more than a dozen subscription databases. The databases are accessed at school using shortcuts on the BCP web site. The list of usernames and passwords required for remote access is available in the library, and is accessible to students and teachers when logged onto the online catalog.
E-books are among the recent acquisitions that have been added to the library’s reference collection. Published by well known reference book sellers, e-books can be accessed by many students simultaneously from computers with Internet access at school and remotely.
