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. It is not only the eventual aim to put place a query
form on this page that will enable users to search our library
collections but also encourage us to strengthen the links between
specimens and taxonomic literature.
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.
