Map collections

Maps and posters available in the library can now be checked out.  You can take them out for one month, the same as items in the Government Documents Collection and General Collection. To help keep the maps and posters in good condition, you also get to take a nice poster tube home with you.

Maps and posters are found on the second floor of the library. You can see our floor plans here.

Questions? Please contact Katie Yelinek, the Coordinator of Government Documents.
