Library and Information Science Resources

Simmons College Library also includes an impressive collection of Library Science materials, which is the largest collection of its kind in New England. It contains materials on the topics of library science, information science, bibliography, and related fields. The collection is committed to serving as New England's library "of record" for the library and information science profession. To this end, a collection of both historic and current materials is maintained.
