Library Collections
The Arkansas State Library (ASL) is both a federal and state depository library, as well as the state's only U.S. Patent and Trademark Resource Center (PTRC). ASL collections also include non-fiction, reference, and library science materials.
Additionally, the library holds a wide array of state newspapers and subscriptions to several online databases (due to licensing, some databases are restricted to in-house use only).
