The primary functions of the State Geological Survey Library are to provide information and collect materials to support Survey research programs, and to collect materials on Illinois geology. Our collection is available to the public for use in-house and through Interlibrary Loan. The ISGS library consists of two components: the stacks and the map room. The main focus of the ISGS Library collection is Illinois geology. Subject areas collected in the stacks include geology, geophysics, geochemistry, paleontology, energy and fuels, stratigraphy, mines and minerals, hydrogeology, and environmental geology. Included in the collection are documents, special collections, and books. Documents include a large collection of reports and serials issued by state geological surveys, U.S. Geological Survey, Bureau of Mines, and other federal agencies, Canadian geological surveys, publications of other agencies of the State of Illinois, and a complete collection of ISGS publications. Special collections include manuscript collection, thesis collection and database of theses on Illinois geology, vertical file, microforms, and a Superconducting Super Collider archive and database. Books include over 4000 titles covering related subject areas.

The online library catalog includes all titles collected since 1990, and selected titles collected prior to 1990. All Illinois State Geological Survey publications, regardless of date, are in the online catalog. Work is ongoing to add older titles to the online catalog.

Questions, comments, and suggestions should be directed to the Library of the Illinois State Geological Survey.
