The Trocaire College Libraries strive to provide the Trocaire College community with the tools and resources needed for academic and professional success. We empower students by promoting the skills needed to effectively find and use materials in all formats by providing access to information resources and by teaching effective research techniques. As part of our mission, we assist diverse users in their preparation for lifelong personal enrichment, dignity and self-worth.

Wireless access is available for students at both locations. Our library on the Choate campus has 34 desktop computers with Microsoft Office for student use. There are also 2 multi-use printers, 1 study room, and plenty of space for group and individual study.

For scholarly research, we offer online article databases, streaming video, program guides, tutorials, eBooks, and a collection of up-to-date print books specially selected to support Trocaire College’s programs of study. All online resources are accessible twenty-four (24) hours a day,

*The Reserve Collection includes many course textbooks. These materials can be used in the library for up to two hours. The library also owns a selection of review books and study guides, including NCLEX review, that can be checked out for 28 days.

In addition, the library has a collection of leisure/pleasure reading materials in a variety of genres, in print and ebook format.

For articles and books we do not own, the library offers two solutions; Interlibrary Loan  and AcademicShare.

We regularly present Library Research and Information (LRI) sessions and workshops to help users attain the highest levels of information literacy, crucial in today’s academic environment and future employment markets. When the Libraries are open, a librarian is present to assist users in accessing information and research, both in person and through Ask Us 24/7, our online chat service. A link to the service is located on the Library website. When the Libraries are closed, users of Ask Us 24/7 are connected to a librarian from another library within the network, who will provide research assistance.
