The Reformed Theological Seminary Libraries are all dedicated to serving the research needs of our students and seminary community by providing access to the highest quality Biblical and theological scholarship through books, journals, and online databases.

RTS has libraries on the three national campuses (Charlotte, Jackson, and Orlando) and four regional campuses (Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, and Washington DC.)  The Washington DC library and staff serve the New York students, and the Orlando library and staff serve the Global campus students. The RTS Libraries have combined holdings of nearly 500,000 volumes.

The RTS Libraries also provide reference and research assistance, both in-person and online. Please contact your campus librarian if you have any questions or need assistance. Services, resources, and contact information specific to each campus are available using the Campus Libraries links below.

What if I need a book or article the library does not own?

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a service that provides you access to items not owned by a particular RTS campus library. ILL makes it possible for you to borrow  items, or receive book and article scans, from other RTS campuses or even other library collections. When you need a book, a book scan, or a journal article that your RTS campus library does not own, you have the option of making an Interlibrary Loan (ILL) request for it. Please see the Interlibrary Loan Services page for more details and to make a request.

The book I want is at another RTS library. May I request it?

Yes. You may submit an Interlibrary Loan request for it here.

How do I access e-books?

Do I need to download e-books to view them?

You do not need to download, or "check-out," e-books to view them. You only need to select "PDF Full Text" or "EPUB Full Text" to access an e-book. Downloading an e-book is not currently available for most titles so that additional students may have access to it. If you need to view an e-book offline, please contact your campus librarian.

I am an RTS Alumni, are there any online resources available to me?

Yes. The RTS libraries provide you access to an ATLA/S Alumni account. For instructions on accessing this database, please contact the campus library where you graduated.
