The Theology and Ministry Library (TML) is the newest Boston College library. Serving the research, teaching, learning, and pastoral formation needs of the School of Theology and Ministry and Saint John's Seminary, the library's collections are centered in Catholic theology, history, canon law, and Jesuitana. In addition, because of its close relationship to the highly respected New Testament Abstracts which are edited and published at the School of Theology and Ministry, the library is a depository of virtually all significant international publications in New Testament and related fields.

The Facilities

Equipped with several public computers and a computer lab, the library offers wireless internet access, printing, scanning and photocopying; and TML librarians provide a full range of services and assistance in the use and understanding of library resources.
