The Biological
Sciences Library (BioSci Library) started as a small collection of
Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletins about the year 1910.
Before moving to the current location in
Kendall Hall, the Library was housed in the west side of Nesmith Hall
and was called the Plant and Animal Science (PAS) Library.
Currently, the
Library contains 75,000 volumes, including 800 journal titles, a
reference
collection, COLSA theses and dissertations, a reserve collection, 11
public computers (including 5 wireless laptops), a networked printer,
and a
digital copier.
Staff areas
include 6 computers (including an ILL Ariel station and a dedicated
web server), 3 printers, 3 bar code readers, and a fax machine.
The Library has about 50 seats, not
including the lobby area.
