School of the Environment Library Collections
The core of YSE-related materials is located in the Marx Science and Social Science Library (219 Prospect St., Concourse Level of Kline Biology Tower). The Marx Library contains print book materials (Basement Level) and both PC and Mac workstations with a complete suite of Microsoft, ESRI, and other specialized software.
Library Course Reserves
Instructors can put physical materials on reserve in any library, but for most YSE materials the reserves are in the Mark Library (219 Prospect St.) or the Bass Library (underground library by Sterling Memorial Library).
