Library books available on campus
About half of the books and bound journals from our library collection are available on campus. Books within the call number range A-NB from the general collection are on the 4th floor of the M.D. Anderson Library’s blue wing. A moving crew has been working very hard to get these books in order during the past month. While they are not yet in perfect order, many sections are complete and others are close enough to be browsable. All these books may be checked out.
Before you visit another library, come visit the 4th floor. The subject areas covered include: art museums (A), aesthetics (BH), archeology (CC), Classical civilization, art, and culture (DE-DG), Mesoamerican civilization, art, and culture (F), city planning (HD and HT), visual arts and art history (N), architecture (NA), and sculpture (NB).
In addition to the subjects listed above, we have many books from our collection on other subjects available on the 4th floor, though those sections are not complete.
Thank you for your patience during this time.
