Related centers and research sites are the Center for ‎Particle Cosmology, the Laboratory for Research on the Structure of Matter, and the Singh ‎Center for Nanotechnology.‎

  1. Chronological
    Emphasis is on current research.
     
  2. Formats
    The Libraries collects monographic series, monographs, databases, datasets, and journals in print ‎and electronic formats that can be maintained by the Libraries’ infrastructure.

  6. Other
    The Libraries strives to acquire materials that support equity in learning and research that meet ‎ADA ‎and WC3 accessibility guidelines.‎

    The Libraries actively evaluate and support open access publishing models for scholarly work in ‎‎Mathematics. Models are assessed on a case-by-case basis on criteria such as equitable access to ‎‎production and dissemination, sustainability, licensing terms, and cost.‎

Faculty, staff, and student recommendations, approval plans, and standing orders for monographic ‎series are principle sources for acquisitions. Publishers' catalogs and communications are also ‎consulted.‎

History, philosophy, instructional exposition, atlases, biographies, bibliographies, dictionaries, ‎general audience, and recreational works.‎

The Engineering and Computer Science Collection supports the School of Engineering and ‎Applied Science, including research in materials science, bioengineering, and applied mechanics. ‎The Earth and Environmental Studies Collection acquires materials on geophysics and ‎meteorology. The Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center collects historical, philosophical, biographical, and general ‎audience works on physics and astronomy.‎

Due to the proximity of the Drexel University Libraries, reciprocal user arrangements have been established. Penn faculty can register at Drexel's libraries for borrowing privileges, and Penn graduate students can use letters of introduction to establish borrowing privileges at Drexel.
