About JKM
The JKM Library is the library for McCormick Theological Seminary and the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. JKM is the only library providing access to I-Share, and full access to electronic resources, for McCormick and LSTC students, faculty and staff.
We currently house around 34,000 books in controlled storage in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, and provide access to over 600,000 electronic books and a wide range of database resources.
As patrons of JKM, members of the McCormick and LSTC communities also have access to our partner libraries in the ACTS and I-Share consortia. Through the seminaries, our patrons have limited auxiliary access to the resources of the University of Chicago Libraries.
The JKM Library also provides services to the other ACTS seminaries in Chicago, and to many other libraries throughout the state of Illinois using the ILDS and RAILS systems. And through OCLC WorldShare, we offer scanning services for our physical collections to libraries all over the world.
