April is National Landscape Architecture Month

April is National Landscape Architecture Month, what better time to highlight landscape architecture materials in the library collection?

Journals

• The library has everything from professional and scholarly journals (Landscape Architecture; Landscape Journal) to popular magazines (Garden Design).
• See the full list of Current Periodicals in the Architecture Library for more titles.

Books

• If you want to browse for books, head to the SB call numbers.
• If you want to search for books in CardCat, "landscape architecture" and "landscape design" are two good subject terms to start with. Add geographic areas such as "United States" or "Italy" or seach instead for specific designers like Dan Kiley or Martha Schwartz. Place names such as Versailles or Central Park are also a good bet.
• Graduating in May? You might want to check out Opportunities in Landscape Architecture, Botanical Gardens, and Arboreta Careers at call number SB469.384.C35 2007.

Images

• The Visual Resources Collection's Architecture Images collection in the Digital Media Repository has thousands of images related to landscape architecture. Search for site names, designer names, or site types such as parks, plazas, or gardens.
• For more online image resources, check out the VRC's website.

Videos

• Figure in a Landscape: a Conversation with J.B. Jackson is now available on DVD. Ask for call number DVD VIDEO 5503 and watch this film about the "originator of landscape studies."
• See the full list of Architecture Library videos for more titles.

Finally, the library's Landscape Architecture subject guide is another good way to find out about library resources on landscape architecture.
