The Sister Mary Ludgera Pieperbeck Learning Resource Center (CON Library), located on the second floor of Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing, provides students, faculty, and staff with access to a wide variety of research materials.

These include physical resources held within the CON Library walls and the Saint Francis Medical Center Library, system-wide online resources provided by OSF, materials held by other OSF libraries, materials held in the 76 Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries of Illinois (CARLI) I-Share Libraries, as well as materials gotten through InterLibrary Loan.

The Library also provides instruction for information literacy and information management as a means of facilitating learning. To the extent possible, the Library provides resources and services to those not affiliated with Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing.
