The library is a member of the Georgia Private Academic Libraries (GPALS) consortium.  This membership has provided access to GALILEO, Georgia's virtual library.  Additionally, there is a subscription to the Library and Information Resources Network (LIRN) and WestLaw, the legal research database.  Subscription  to these resources have greatly expanded the number of databases and resources available for research.

The basic collection consists of books, newspapers, magazines, DVDs, compact discs and other information resources.  Items are classified using the Library of Congress classification scheme.

There is an Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) that allows individuals to view the library's catalog from any computer on campus and also from the library's intranet site located at http://at.herzing.edu/library

All software used in the educational programs are installed on the seven computers located in the library.  These computers are available for use by students and staff using account information provided by the information technology department staff.  

Students must check with the librarian for information regarding database access while off campus.
