The Vollbrecht College Library collects and makes available specialized professional print and electronic resources in support of the undergraduate, graduate and doctoral curricula. The print collection consists of over 25,000 bound reference and circulating volumes, as well as more than 115 current periodical subscriptions. Walsh’s extensive tax collection is one of the finest in the State of Michigan. The Library delivers 24/7 access to over 130 full-text online business databases which includes over 155,000 online periodicals and 747,392 e-books. Off-site access to these online resources, as well as to a variety of electronic reserve items, are available to all Walsh students, faculty, and staff.
Students are welcome to visit the Troy campus for one-on-one assistance during library hours. The Troy campus has computers available to students for research, printing and class assignments.
The Vollbrecht Library has three accessibility stations that include a 24-inch screen, large keyboard, CCTV and software for vision and hearing impairments. While the stations are available to the public, the priority remains the Walsh learning community. Students, staff and faculty have access to other accessibility equipment, such as noise cancelling headphones, c-pens, and wireless keyboards and mouse combinations. This equipment has been made available through funding provided in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Sciences through the Library of Michigan.
Walsh is a member of DALNET (Detroit Area Library Network) which is a consortium of 15 academic, public and special libraries in Southeastern Michigan.
The Library discovery system and curated research guides (ResearchGuides) provide students access to discipline specific information in areas such as: Accounting, Communication, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Human Resource Management, Global Business Information, Information Technology, Legal Resources, Marketing, Management, and Tax.
The main library collection is housed in the Vollbrecht Library located in the Jeffery W. Barry Center at the Troy location.
