Borrowing Library Materials

Items housed in the Architecture & Landscape Architecture Library circulate in accordance to the University Libraries Lending Code.

Course Reserves

All Course Reserve Lists can be viewed by logging into the Libraries Course Reserves Database. Instructions for placing materials on reserve at our location can be found on the Architecture & Landscape Architecture Library's Course Reserves Page.

Reference Assistance

Reference and information services are available at the Architecture & Landscape Architecture Library any time the library is open (library hours). We welcome appointments with faculty and students for consultation regarding research, class assignments, and other information needs.

Additionally, patrons may contact us by telephone (814-865-3614) or e-mail with questions for which short answers are expected. In-depth questions require the patron come to the library in person.

Remote Access to Databases

Most of the databases and electronic resources offered by the University Libraries are remotely accessible to current current Penn State students, faculty and staff. Additional information can be found on the Database Troubleshooting FAQ page.

The University Libraries are committed to providing services to those who are enrolled in Penn State's World Campus and Distance Education programs. Additional information is available on the Libraries' World Campus and Distance Education Site.

The University Libraries allows loans and photocopies of most materials owned by the Libraries via interlibrary loan. Persons not affiliated with Penn State who wish to obtain materials owned by the Libraries should contact their local library's interlibrary loan department.

Services for Persons with Disabilities

There are several designated accessible parking spaces in the parking lot on the east side of our location in the Stuckeman Family Building. The entrance to this parking lot is from Shortlidge Road, right next to North Halls. The University Libraries provide a variety of special aids, resources, and services for people with disabilities. Additional information can be found on the Disabilities Services Web Site.

Group Study Room & Instruction Room

The Architecture & Landscape Architecture Library has two rooms available for groups to reserve. Either room may be reserved for a maximum of 3 hours each day per group.

The Dahn & Krieger Group Study Room seats 11 people and is equipped with a wall-mounted collaborative flat screen monitor, a television with VCR/DVD player, and a whiteboard.

The William and Phoebe Duff Instruction Room seats 16 people and is not equipped like a typical media classroom. It contains a whiteboard, Windows podium computer that has limited software and projection capabilities, and a DVD/VHS player.

We recommend that you test the equipment prior to your scheduled time.

A weekly sign up sheet is posted outside both rooms each Sunday. To schedule either room more than a week in advance, email your request to: arch@psulias.psu.edu

Reservations will be held for 15 minutes past the beginning of the reserved time. After 15 minutes the room is forfeited. Both rooms are available for drop-in use when not reserved for groups.
