As a collective group, the three Palmer College of Chiropractic libraries hold more than 85,000 books, journals, audio-visual material, models, charts, and archival items. The libraries also provide access to hundreds of electronic journals, letting faculty and students keep up-to-date with the profession. The library catalog is online and contains the holdings of all three campuses. Patrons can access their account online and see due dates as well as place items on hold that are not available.
The Davenport and Florida campus libraries have reserve desks with material selected by faculty to support the College’s curriculum. The Davenport campus Special Collections and College Archives consist of the most comprehensive chiropractic historical resource in the world. Chiropractic, osteopathy, homeopathy, and other non-drug and non-surgical health sciences materials are collected and are available for in-house use. Each campus library has computers and wireless internet access for studying and also provides individual and group study space.
