CD-ROMs

The Library maintains a collection of electronic research materials and instruments that are not accessible through the campus network, such as BibleWorks. They must be loaded onto specific computers in the Library, and therefore can only be used inside the building. These programs are briefly described on the Electronic Reference page.
