Library Facilities
St. Olaf College maintains three libraries, the Rolvaag Memorial Libarary, the Halvorson Music Library, and the Hustad Science Library. The science library, located on the first floor of Regents Hall, houses over 33,000 monographs and over 10,000 bound journal volumes. Electronic access available to students and faculty includes Web of Science, SciFinderScholar, ACS Journals Online, ACS Journals Archive Edition, and JSTOR. Additional information relating to the Glasoe Science Library can be found at https://www.stolaf.edu/library/science.
