The
Library in Wallace Hall serves the needs of the faculty,
students and staff in the Woodrow Wilson School and the
Office of Population Research. The library staff WELCOME
you to Princeton University. The staff
consists of 2.5 librarians and 5 support staff. The library's
opening hours can be found at Hours.
Following is information about some of the essential things
you may want to know about the library.
The
Library makes reserve readings available for Woodrow Wilson
School courses. Please submit your reserve readings lists
as early as possible. Journal articles and book chapters,
where copyright guidelines allow, will be made available
electronically through the library web site and through
the Blackboard site for individual courses. The library
will obtain copyright clearance for any readings made available
electronically that fall outside the "fair use"
guidelines. Readings not available electronically will be
available in paper form in the library. These can circulate
for 3 hours.
To
submit your lists or for questions about reserve readings,

258-4848).

Book Express service supports delivery of books and the Article Express Service supports delivery of journal
articles and book chapters to the faculty of the Woodrow Wilson School and
the Office of Population Research. Submit your request for
books by using the Book Express

your request for journal articles, book chapters, and conference
proceedings using the Article
Express form. Please contact Stokes Library (piaprlib@princeton.edu,

Library
staff is available to help you with your research needs
or to provide instruction in the use of library materials
for you or your students. General library orientations,

related to specific databases are available. Please contact

Two
individual collections are held within the Donald E. Stokes
Library. The regular loan period for "SPIA" materials
(public policy, international relations, etc.) that are
not on reserve for a course, is 4 weeks. For "SPR"
materials (population research collection), items may be
charged out for the term. All materials may be renewed if
no one else is waiting for a particular item. Certain collections,
such as some journals and reference materials, do not circulate.
Reserve materials can be taken out for 3-hours only. In
order to borrow materials please have your Princeton university
id card activated at any Circulation Desk throughout the
library system. Stokes Library books other than 3 hour loans
can be renewed online.
The
Collaborative study rooms are located in Rooms 63, 65, and
67. These rooms are designed for GROUPS of students and/or
faculty to work on various projects. The rooms are available
on a first-come, first-served basis or can be reserved on
the calendar posted outside of each room.
The
instructional classroom with 12 student workstations and
an instructor's workstation is located in Room 70. Its primary
purpose is for classes conducted by Princeton University
Library staff for the Princeton University community. The
classroom is also used for computer workshops held by the
Woodrow Wilson School, Office of Population Research, and
Sociology Department. The classroom reverts to general library
research computers when not reserved for class sessions.
You can reserve the room by filling out the Reserve
Electronic Classroom form.
