The Boreham Library is a 21st century library in terms of its facilities, services, and resources. It has a long tradition of providing excellent service to the University and of being at the forefront of new technologies and resources. The library offers specialized services such as reference by e-mail, a copy center, a media room, and desktop productivity software including word processing and graphics applications. It is a gathering place for students during the school year, offering a convenient place to study and to work on group or individual projects.

The Boreham Library contains extensive electronic resources available to students both in-house and from remote locations. The library maintains database licenses for over seventy electronic databases such as Lexis Nexis, BioOne, and the World Catalog. Databases cover many subject areas and provide full-text for over 32,000 journals. Additional electronic resources include a collection of over 20,000 electronic books. Students can do research on databases, search the Internet, or access the library's online catalog from library workstations and laptop computers.

The library also maintains other traditional collections. There are over 85,000 book volumes, over 500 current periodical subscriptions, five newspaper subscriptions, over 3,600 audiovisual titles, and over 50,000 microforms. Special collections include the Pebley Center for Arkansas Historical and Cultural Materials and the Foundation Center Grants Collection.

Books, articles, documents, and other items not available locally may be requested through ILLiad, the interlibrary loan system. As a convenient feature for students, the library’s electronic reserves module allows off-campus access to articles, class notes, homework solutions, and similar materials.

One of the library’s goals is to educate users, especially students, by helping them acquire lifelong learning skills, the information literacy that will enable them to find, use, and evaluate information in all formats. The Boreham Library offers a variety of instructional programs and services designed to improve library skills for the university community.

The library building is open 78 hours per week when classes are in session, and many library resources are available online. With a current ID from the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith, any university employee or student may check out materials from the Boreham Library, the Fort Smith Public Library, or the Scott Sebastian Regional Library. A current ID also entitles the holder to apply for an ArkLink Statewide Library Card. This card permits reciprocal borrowing privileges at any other ArkLink participating library.
