UST Digital Images are in Minnesota Reflections Digital Library

The University of St. Thomas Archives contributed nearly 40 digital images to Minnesota Reflections, the initial project of the Minnesota Digital Library Coalition. Ann Kenne, Head of Special Collections and University Archivist, selected the materials from the University Archives' collection of more than 20,000 historic photographs and postcards of the University of St. Thomas, the St. Paul Seminary, and the St. Thomas Military Academy.

The UST images document the faculty, students, sports, and activities of the college from its founding in 1885 through 1909. Catalogers Cathy Lutz and Jane Shriver were instrumental in the description of these images.

New Interlibrary Loan System Has Arrived

The UST Libraries introduce ILLiad, a new interlibrary loan system that will provide you with very detailed information about your interlibrary loan requests. In addition to the complete history of your interlibrary loan transactions, ILLiad actually gives you a window into the “behind the scenes” processing, so you are more informed about the current statuses of your requests. Most articles that you request will be delivered electronically. See ILLiad News for more information.
