- Library Annex@Conklin. "The Library Annex was established in 1999 to house important older, but lesser used materials in the Libraries’ collections. For many years, the Bartle and Science Library facilities were short of collections space. Over the years, it was necessary to convert some seating space to collections space, but by the mid-1990’s there was literally nowhere to expand shelving on campus. By transferring materials to the Annex, more space was made available in the existing buildings for newer and more heavily used materials. The Library Annex currently houses over 300,000 volumes in a high-density, climate controlled environment."
- Science and Map Library. " The Science Library, a separate building conveniently located near the Science buildings, containing materials in the fields of science, engineering, nursing and psychology and housing the University map collection."
- Special Collections, Preservation and University Archives. "Materials are acquired through both donation and purchase. Selection of materials to be added to Special Collections is made on the basis of their age, uniqueness or rarity, provenance, format, and subject.
The book collection consists primarily of North American editions published prior to 1850, British imprints prior to 1800, and European imprints prior to 1750.
In addition, numbered limited editions, examples of fine printing or binding, editions with fine or unusual illustrations, local imprints and books relating to local history are collected.
Unique archival materials and manuscripts are also kept in Special Collections. Finally, Special Collections houses certain non-paper materials: selected sound recordings, films, slides, and realia."
