Geology Library




(NEW YORK, February 15, 2008)

The Geology Library underwent a major renovation during the summer of 2007 and now offers a completely re-designed space with new fixtures and furnishings. The renovation was in conjunction with the creation of a new Geology Laboratory next door to the Library.

Highlights of the renovation include:

  • 25 seats (including comfy seating, study carrels, and 2 large tables)
  • 4 public computer work stations
  • Wireless internet access
  • 12 lockers available for daily use


The stacks space also received the first fresh coat of paint they had seen in many years, overall making the newly renovated Geology Library the perfect place for quiet study. The collection is particularly strong in traditional terrestrial geology, with extensive materials from state and foreign geological surveys and societies dating back to the 18th century. Subject areas collected include mineralogy, petrology, sedimentology, hydrology, stratigraphy, and paleontology. The Geology & Geoscience Librarian, Amanda Bielskas, is available to help you with your research.

Please come and visit our newly renovated space, we are quite proud of it!
