The Biology Library supports the teaching and research of the
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and the Department of Molecular Biology, as well as the needs of the general university community for material in biology. It provides access to the standard databases in the field, and a document delivery service to faculty, students, and staff for items not held at Princeton (http://libapdl380.princeton.edu/illiad/ILLDD_menu.html).
Collection
Approximately 800 active serial titles, of which about half are available in electronic format. 28,000 bound serial volumes, 23,000 monographs, and 1,498 department BA and Ph.D. theses. In addition, about 100,000 bound biology serial volumes and over 50,000 biology monographs are in the Fine Annex library.
Subject Areas
The collection covers all aspects of the biological sciences, but current collecting emphasizes the present research interests of the departments. The Biology Library holds the collections in the areas of:
| zoology (especially mammalogy and ornithology) |
| | genetics, ecology, and evolution |
| | virology, microbiology and immunology |
| | molecular, cell and developmental biology |
| Other areas are collected in cooperation with other campus libraries: |
| | population biology, with the Population Research library |
| | neurobiology, with the Psychology library |
| | biochemistry, with the Chemistry library |
| natural history, Zeiss Collection in Firestone library |
