Monographs, monographic series, specialized reference works, bibliographies, and serials are collected. Topical exhibition catalogs, non-Tulane dissertations, and multi-media are purchased selectively at user request.
Formats
To broaden access and conserve physical space, journals are sought online whenever this format is available. Print may be canceled to reduce costs when ownership of the online version is assured. When ownership of the online version is not assured, online access at additional cost will be sought within the amount budgeted for architecture journals. Monographs and other types are generally purchased as printed text. Other formats are considered, especially when the alternative format would improve access or utility.
