Using the Library

 

 

Welcome to Whitaker Library

We are here to meet your research and leisure reading needs. Our helpful staff is ready to assist you on an individual basis or as a class. Please visit us in person, from your dorm room, office or home. We look forward to meeting you!

Whitaker Library is at the academic center of Chowan University, with approximately 120,000 books and access to full text of over 17,000 periodicals. In addition, numerous electronic resources are available throughout the campus network. Whitaker Library also offers access to resources beyond its own by providing Internet access and interlibrary loan services. The library is open 82 hours per week, with librarians available at all times for help. Quiet areas are available for individual study, research, or leisure reading. Informal and reserved group study is also available. 

Several special collections are available, including the Oscar Creech Baptist Collection, the McDowell Collection of Archives and Antiquities (Chowan and local history), and the Whitaker Collection of Presidential Papers (Chowan history). In addition, two subject specific collections are available: the Instructional Materials Center serves as a curriculum laboratory for education students, and the Daniel Hall Music Media Center holds records, compact disks, scores, and videos relating to music performance.
