The IS Library houses a vast collection of titles related to librarianship, archival studies, media archival studies, informatics, and rare books and visual culture. Subjects of the print collection are varied, with a particular focus on critical information theory and research methodologies. Our collection development policy mirrors the curricula of the MLIS, PhD, and Post-Master certificate programs. The Library's main print collection, including course reserves, is presently non-circulating, and is available for use on site.
In addition to the main print collection, the IS Library offers a wide variety of serial publications, magazines, and academic journals related to the information professions (see Bibliographic Resources). Titles from the collection of children’s literature, including recent and award-winning works, may be borrowed upon request.
Course reserves are available for use within the library.
