Dispersed among 14 facilities on the three Twin Cities campuses, the University of Minnesota Libraries contain 6.2 million print volumes, nearly 37,000 serial subscriptions, 6.3 million microforms, 2.65 million government documents, and 423,000 maps, making it the 16th largest research library in North America.

The collections and facilities of the University of Minnesota Libraries are open to the public. Carleton students may not check out materials from the libraries (except via Interlibrary Loan at Carleton), but Carleton faculty may apply for special borrowing privileges.

The UMN borrowing privileges page has information for Carleton faculty about the type of documentation(s) you need to provide to their library, plus the scope of access you'll be able to get to their collection.
