The
Herbarium
Library
The
Herbarium
Library is now
located in room 112
across the hall from
the
main collections in
a specially built
facility. This
library is a
satellite library of
the University of
Connecticut
Libraries. The
library houses
important taxonomic
literature,
monographs and
journals
and is frequently
used by visitors,
staff, students and
faculty.
Photocopies are free
of charge and all
herbarium users are
welcome to
use this facility.
As CONN staff
reference type
specimens and
research
vouchers using
references in the
library, the library
is slowly
being databased. For
now, a searchable
list of volumes,
including
taxonomic
literature,
monographs,
journals, and floras
of many U.S.
states and foreign
countries, is
available here.
We
are always looking
for
donations of
taxonomic botanical
and horticultural
literature to the
library. We are
particularly
fortunate to have
received a
remarkable
donation of
bryological
literature from Dr.
Storrs L. Olson. An
overview of this
extensive gift to
our library can be
found by
following this
link. Other
recent gifts include
the Journal of
Bryology
(1898-2001) and
Cryptogamie
(1874-1998) from Dr.
Lewis Anderson of
Duke
University and Taxon
from Dr. Gregory
Anderson.
