Students and faculty from the other colleges on campus also
use the Engineering & Physical Sciences Library, as do members of the general public.
An average of 20,000 customers visit EPSL each month.
Most of EPSL’s monograph and print journal volumes total more than 260,000 and are
housed in the building. The reference collection consists of about 13,000 volumes.
Although current print journal subscriptions declined over the years (it totals over
700), the number of current electronic journals subscriptions increased. Some 100,000
volumes of little used monographs and journals have been transferred to an off campus
storage facility. They are retrieved within 24 to 48 hours upon request. EPSL is
currently filled to 85% capacity. In addition to printed books and journals,
electronic editions of many titles are also available. A selected microfilm
collection also supports the printed journal collection. The EPSL Technical Reports
Center has over two million items, mainly on microfiche. It houses one of the most
complete collections of National Aeronautics and Space Administration documents on
the East Coast. National Institute of Standards and Technology publications, Rand
Corporation, US Air Force, Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency and
North Atlantic Treaty Organization documents are among the many domestic and foreign
reports available.
