Raugust Library
Raugust Library, built in 1971, currently houses more than 150,000 items including books, periodicals, CDs, DVDs, and microforms. Computers and wireless access allow students to work in a comfortable setting with the best of both the print and online worlds. Special collections include the archives, the curriculum library (a collection of children’s fiction, non-fiction, and textbooks), and a large collection of the works of Louis L’Amour in a dozen languages.
The library is a member of ODIN (Online Dakota Information Network) a network allowing access to all materials in Raugust Library along with eighty other North Dakota libraries. ODIN provides students with access to more than eighteen million items including over 100,000 full text online journals in 149 databases and 83,000 periodicals. We also provide streaming video through Films On Demand and Academic Video Online and over 2,200,000 tracks of streamed music through Naxos. Through this cooperative network, any materials located in North Dakota can usually be borrowed or copied for the student in less than a week or sent instantly online.
Raugust Library also subscribes to Encyclopedia Britannica Online, WorldCat, which accesses the holdings of more than 60,000 libraries in 112 countries.
