Advancement

To celebrate the advent of spring 2023, the University of Iowa Libraries’ social media channels emphasized the earth-related offerings at the Sciences Library, including the Kent Ornithology Collection. These 250+ titles were donated by former UI faculty member and birding enthusiast Dr. Thomas H. Kent.

The Sciences Library also boasts a robust collection of U.S. geological surveys (and a digital guide to navigate these documents). With a central location, three floors of study space, a specialized scanner, and a friendly and knowledgeable staff, the Sciences Library is worth a visit.
