Students may access the Library Catalog, Library Loan Service and numerous outstanding databases through the Piedmont website.

The following three databases are available to registered students through the Resource Page of the Student Portal.  Piedmont Baptist College faculty may access these tools via the Faculty Portal.
ATLA - Theological periodical database.

Wilson Web - A powerful research database.

CPI - Christian Periodicals Index.

Library Loan Service—Distance education students may request materials from our library. However, students are assessed fees for shipping and handling, and students are responsible for return shipping within the loan period. Late returns are subject to late fees. You can check for available resources by using the Online Search Tool, which will allow you to seach by Subject, Author, or Title.   For Library Loan Service questions, please contact Roger Barnes at barnesrl@pbc.edu

All students should be familiar with our Library Handbook.
