The Archabbey Library maintains a collection of more than 170,000 volumes and subscribes to over 300 periodicals. The Library is increasing its electronic holdings of full-text periodical literature, while continuing to maintain archived volumes in print and microfilm. The collection is primarily a theological one, with particular emphasis on Roman Catholic scholarship, but includes some holdings in other subjects. Library maintains membership in several academic and professional consortia, which enlarges the scope and depth of resources available to patrons. These groups include the Theological Education Association of Mid-America (TEAM-A), the Catholic Library Association and the American Theological Library Association.
The MacCauley Rare Books Room houses more than 2,000 books and a number of manuscripts published primarily before 1700. This collection, like the main collection, is theological in its focus
