Our Story
Hours listed on our page are for Frost Library. To check the hours of all the libraries, visit our hours page: https://www.amherst.edu/library/hours
Robert Frost Library is the main library on campus. Frost houses collections in the arts, humanities, and social sciences, as well as general-interest science materials. You can get help with research or ask us anything at the first-floor desks. Books and bound periodicals are shelved on the 3rd floor and B- and C-levels of the library. Current periodicals and reference materials are on the 1st floor; DVDs and videos are on A-level; microfilm and microfiche are on the 2nd floor. Check the floor plans or ask a staff member for more details.
Archives & Special Collections, on A-level, hold rare books, collections of special interest, and materials about the history of the college. Check out the Amherst College Digital Collections 24/7 at http://acdc.amherst.edu.
Online resources, such as databases, e-books, e-journals, and digitized primary-source collections are also available. Amherst College faculty, staff, and students can get off-campus access to these resources or use them in the library. In most cases, the general public can use these materials in the library on a walk-in basis.
Located in The Science Center, Keefe Science Library provides access to core information resources for students, faculty, and scholars in Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics, Neuroscience, Physics and Psychology.
The Vincent Morgan Music Library, located on the second floor of the Music Building, contains books, journals, scores, and recordings. The Library also has listening equipment for records, cassettes and compact discs.
Comments
We are trying to recruit students from across the Five Colleges to participate as staffers for our conference. We are looking for Chairs, Vice Chairs, and conference Staffers. They would be responsible for attending all committee sessions during the conference weekend (March 6-8 2020) and attending a training session.
We think that the students in your department would be great candidates for our conference. Can you please share with the rest of the students in your department?
Here is the link to the application which closes on January 31st:
