Serving the Dubuque Community 

Thanks to our participation in the State Library of Iowa’s Open Access Program, anyone who lives in the state of Iowa may check out books and DVDs with a valid form of identification, such as a driver’s license. This also extends to the faculty, staff, and students of all Dubuque area colleges, members of the BVM order, Diocesan and Archdiocesan Clergy and personnel. The public also has access to our University Archive, which you may view online or schedule an appointment to view materials in person.  

SEARCH THE CATALOG

Please note, Dubuque and local community members are only able to check out books that we have in our collection. E-books, and journal articles are not available to non Clarke students, faculty or staff.
