Information resources and services are available for research and study. The Library supports the college’s mission to educate, inspire and equip students for excellent scholarship, service and leadership. The Library is accessible from the college's homepage: http://www.portal.pillar.edu. The library's homepage is the gateway to ready reference information and online database resources. Ready Reference includes basic “quick” resources such as an online dictionary, encyclopedia, federal statistics, census data, health and job information.
For online database usage, the students and users need to have a pillar email, and a password to log into the web page portal.pillar.edu. Once the user logs in to the portal, they can access the Pillar Library online databases by clicking the blue link under the respective database. Some of these databases include EBSCO, ProQuest, ProQuest eBooks and more. In addition to these databases, there are many other online resources that service student research needs such as Bible Gateway, Christian Classics Ethereal Library, JerseyClicks and so much more.
For our Biblical Studies students we also provide the ATLA Religion Index through which full-text journal articles are available. Several of our resources are available in Spanish. This is very important since we wish to service our Spanish speaking students with credible resources they can relate to.
The Director of Library and Information Services actively promotes information literacy through group training in the classroom, one-on-one sessions with students, active involvement with faculty and the Academic Department. Library services are provided across all of Pillar College instructional sites with the goal of helping our students build new knowledge.
The library continually seeks to provide resources that are appropriate to our student’s needs and authoritative. The library supports the Pillar College mission and strategic plan.
