New Materials in the Library This Summer

New materials in the collection are on display all year round in the Architecture Library, but in the summer months you will find a larger selection. There are two reasons for this: 1) with fewer students and faculty on campus in the summer fewer materials are checked out and 2) materials received during May through August will stay on display through the end of September.

If you are on campus over the summer feel free to check out these materials. If you won't be back until the fall then stop by before the end of September to take a look at the materials that arrived in the library during the summer months. New materials lists will also be available monthly during the fall and spring semesters.
