ILSL Collections
The
ILSL has a rich collection of over 30,000 monographs and over 400 serials
that cover a wide variety of library and information science topics.
Our strongest areas of collection are:
Serials
Our serials cover everything from annual reference works to professional journals to state library newsletters. Newest issues for many are displayed in our Journals area. We also have an archive of recent newsletters from libraries across the country.
Library Science
Covering library history, collection development, administration, publishing history and all other related topics, our library science collection is our strongest. It is used by students, faculty, staff, and regional professionals across our area.
Information Science
Smaller but increasingly important are our information science holdings. Interdisciplinary in scope, the collection covers information retrieval and analysis, knowledge management, information architecture, information use and much more.
Book Arts
A small but useful collection, our book arts material supports our special collections and conservators in their work, as well as independent researchers. It includes works on binding, printing, papermaking, book and printing history, bookplates and similar topics.
Intellectual Property
A key part of our collections covers copyrights and othr intellectual property, focusing on issues of interest to libraries and academia.
Juvenile Collection
A growing and varied collection (and one of our oldest) is our Juvenile collection. Supporting students in the public library specialty as well as librarians and researchers in children's literature, the collection covers journals, picture books, young adult novels, and non-fiction. Our strongest holdings include award winners, and increasingly Western European titles as well.
