Library users can now access a new database that includes job hunting assistance, professional resume review, and interview preparation!

Loras College and Clarke University libraries have been working hard to coordinate some of our services and programs. We are pleased to be active partners in teaching, learning, and scholarship for our students, faculty, and community members. You now have the best of both worlds- the ability to use two libraries and their resources.  This is a unique partnership that allows you to use the book collection at both libraries, receive assistance at either library in person or online, and gain access to the other library’s database collections if you visit the other library. We welcome students from both campuses to use our library resources.
