Architecture Collection Policy

The library maintains a modest approval plan through GOBI Library Solutions for education books that is limited to the scope described above, this in addition to a small discretionary fund for important monographs outside the scope of this plan. While the library owns many individual journal subscriptions, a large number of articles from education journals are available through the library's subscriptions to large general "aggregator" article databases.

Selection tools include reviews in major professional journals, newsletters, and online resources. Special attention is given to faculty, staff, and student requests, especially those that serve the Tulane School of Architecture's curriculum and Special Programs.

The architecture collection is enhanced by support from endowed funds that include the Emile Weil Fund for Architectural Periodicals.
