Mission
The mission of the Library is to serve students by providing access to information, by maintaining an environment that promotes a culture of academic excellence, and by offering instruction that fosters scholarship, integrity, independent intellectual growth, and the sophisticated information skills necessary for lifelong learning.
Carroll’s Library
Libraries today are service institutions. Therefore, the Carroll Library provides not only access to appropriate print, video, sound and electronic resources, but also to a range of services geared toward student success. In addition to the materials held in or accessible through the Carroll Library, the Library also provides access to materials held across the state, the nation and the world through a variety of online services, nearly all of which are available from off campus. Strong consortia relationships and InterLibrary Loan ensure the availability of supplemental materials to enrich study and research for Carroll students.
The Library’s instruction program teaches subject-specific research methods, including how to evaluate web sites and other information resources. Library instruction begins in the Cultural Seminar (CCS) program and continues as students work on assignments that require them to deal with a world of rapidly proliferating information and delivery systems. Librarians also assist students with course assignments and provide research assistance in the Information Commons or by appointments with their liaison. The Library’s liaison program pairs librarians with faculty in specific subject areas for the purposes of acquiring the best resources for Carroll students, keeping the collections current, and teaching research skills specific to that subject. Liaisons also provide students with specialized assistance for in-depth research projects.
The Library provides a safe, clean and comfortable environment with state-of-the-art technology and study spaces to accommodate a variety of study styles: quiet spaces, individual carrels, large tables, group rooms, hard chairs, soft chairs and a coffee shop. The Library is open 101 hours per week when class is in session during the fall and spring semesters. Hours are reduced during the summer, winter, or when classes are not in session.
Curriculum Materials Center (CMC)
The CMC, located on the main level of the Library, is dedicated to the needs of education students on campus. The CMC collection is comprised of children’s literature and curriculum materials appropriate for education levels K-12.
University Archives
The University Archives contains official records and publications of the institution, private papers, student and faculty publications, academic and curricula works, photographs, books, audio and video recordings and Carroll memorabilia that record and illustrate the history and life of the university. These materials provide historical information about the Trustees, the faculty, staff and student body over time. Items that are highly accessed, such as the student yearbooks and the Theatre Collection, have been digitized and are available online through the digital collections link on the Web site. New items are continually added to the digital collections site.
Special Collections
The Library’s holdings include some unique, rare, out of print, and historic books which are all grouped as part of Special Collections. The materials in Special Collections include; Welsh Collection, Barclay Collection, Mother Goose Collection, Rufus and Charles King Collection, and Rare Books Collection. The subjects cover religious works, historical works on Scotland and Wales, classic literature, theatre, children’s literature, and artistic works that date back as far as 1604. All materials are accessible to the Carroll Community and may be used in the Library. For assistance please contact the Archives Manager.

Public Safety
Our mission is to assist the Carroll community in creating a safe and secure environment for learning, living, and working. The Department of Public Safety maintains staffing 24 hours a day including personnel in the dispatch office, Public Safety Officers, and off duty Waukesha County Sheriff Deputies. Public Safety both produces and co-sponsors various events during the year to help enhance the knowledge of the community related to personal safety both on campus and off.
Carroll University provides an annual security report that includes statistics for the previous three calendar years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus; in certain off campus buildings or property owned or controlled by Carroll University; and on public property within or immediately adjacent to, and accessible from, the campus. The report includes institutional policies concerning campus security, such as policies concerning alcohol and other drug use, crime prevention, the reporting of crimes, sexual assault, and other matters. The report also includes fire safety policies and statistics, emergency notification procedures, and protocols for missing persons.
Click here for a copy of the annual security report.
You can obtain a paper copy of this report by contacting the Public Safety Center located at 208 Wright Street, which is a half block east of Campus Center or by calling 262.524.7300.
