Hampshire College

The Harold F. Johnson Library promotes the academic goals of the college: teaching, research, and learning. Our collections reflect the intellectual interests and concerns of our students and faculty, with particular focus on the curriculum of the five schools of Natural Science; Social Science; Humanities, Arts, and Cultural Studies; Interdisciplinary Arts; and Cognitive Science. Librarians provide instruction and support in locating and critically evaluating information in any form and help provide access to resources, online and in print.

Students and faculty using the Hampshire College library also have access to all the library resources of our consortial neighbors: Amherst College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. In addition, through full-text databases and interlibrary loan, students and faculty have access to the wider world of information resources.
