THE MARY B. AND ROBERT J. WRIGHT LEARNING AND INFORMATION CENTER AND AUSTIN SEMINARY ARCHIVES The Mary B. and Robert J. Wright Learning and Information Center provides state of the art spaces for collaborative learning, remote learning, and individual study. The Center actively acquires scholarship in electronic and print form. Seminary students and faculty can access more than 400,000 e-books and a variety of online research tools, including AtlaSerials Plus and the JSTOR Religion and Theology archive collection. The Stitt Library Collection of print books and journals numbers more than 95,000 volumes. During academic terms, seminary faculty and students have access to the first floor of the Wright Center 24/7. Hours of service for the seminary community and the general public are posted on the Wright Center’s website. Sophi Search, an integrated discovery service, provides access to articles, e-books, and print books held by the Wright Center and by the Booher Library of the Seminary of the Southwest (SSW), located a few blocks from campus. Austin Seminary students have borrowing privileges at SSW and the main library of The University of Texas at Austin. Wright Center staff provide access to other needed items via interlibrary loan. The Austin Seminary Archives serves as the repository for documentation of the Seminary’s administrative activities, educational programs, publications, memorabilia, and photographs. The Archives contains some memoirs and personal papers of Seminary faculty. The Archives also collects materials on the activities of the Presbyterian Church in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Access to materials is afforded by detailed finding aids. A growing assortment of Seminary-produced content and archival materials is being made available as digital collections. The librarians are partners with the faculty in teaching and learning, and support theological scholarship. Librarians manage the seminary’s learning management system and offer user training through classroom sessions and tutorials.
