Research Guides: Library Access for Claremont School of Theology at Willamette University: Home

Library

Introduction

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, policies and hours at the Mark O. Hatfield Library are frequently changing to adapt to institutional, local, state, and federal guidelines. The information in this guide may be overruled by some of these measures. For up-to-date information on Hatfield's COVID response, please check the library's front page here.

Students, faculty, and staff of CST have different needs and access than the wider Willamette community. This guide will point you toward the people and resources that are available to you.

You should no longer be using the CST Library catalog. For print resources, use the catalog of the Mark O. Hatfield Library at Willamette. For digital resources, see the information about the Digital Theological Library below.

Print Resources through the Mark O. Hatfield Library

The CST community has access to Hatfield using their Willamette ID cards. Hatfield’s collection now includes 50,000 volumes in theological and religious studies and related fields that were moved up from CST’s library in Claremont. Visit library.willamette.edu to search the catalog and learn about Hatfield’s borrowing policies.

Digital Theological Library

The DTL is an all-digital library of resources for theological and religious studies. It contains thousands of digital books, articles, and other materials, and is always growing. CST students, faculty, and staff have access to the DTL using their CST ID numbers.

Search the DTL by going to thedtl.org or thedtl.on.worldcat.org. Bookmark one of these links--they connect to the same catalog.

Before you can search the DTL, you will be redirected to a login page. Choose "Claremont School of Theology" from the dropdown menu, and input your CST ID number (see the image below).

Members of the Willamette community that do not belong to CST may access the DTL while inside the Hatfield Library. For information, talk to someone at the circulation desk or email library@willamette.edu.

Students, faculty, and staff of CST and Willamette may obtain borrowing privileges at other member libraries around the country. Borrowing privileges are subject to the policies of individual member libraries.
