Electronic Resources:
Available to all students, faculty, and staff, the Shelton Learning Commons provides access to more than 110 databases such as ProQuest Central and more than 210,000 electronic books. All digital resources can be accessed via the search bar on the Online Databases page. The electronic resource collection can be accessed both anywhere on campus and off with a student’s Lees-McRae credentials.
Circulation:
While students may check out materials for the entire semester, reference materials and periodicals unfortunately cannot be loaned to students. Faculty members may take these materials for short-term use in a specific class, but the materials must be returned immediately following the class.
Audiovisual material may be loaned to students and faculty on a short-term (usually overnight) basis.
Most "Reserve" materials may be used only within the learning commons, although some may be checked out for overnight use, depending on the course instructor.
Students, faculty, and staff must bring a valid Lees-McRae ID in order to check out materials.
Archives:
The Jones-Pritchett archives at Lees-McRae contain the collected papers, photographs, yearbooks, audio, and video recordings and other items spanning the history of the college.

Removal of archival materials from the archives is not permitted but some limited copying of documents and photographs are allowed.
Items from the archives may be used by permission of the director for publication or other commercial purposes. Any such use must display the ownership statement “Property of Lees-McRae College Archives” or the publication statement “Used with permission of the Lees-McRae College Archives.”
