Engineering students and faculty are primarily served by the Library of Science and Medicine located on the Busch campus near the engineering complex. Other smaller specialized libraries on the Busch campus house collections in chemistry, mathematical sciences, and physics. Students and faculty can also access the catalog, a wide variety of electronic indexes and abstracts, full-text electronic journals and research guides, and other library services online, both from campus and remotely. At the Library of Science and Medicine, professional librarians, including an engineering librarian, assist students and faculty with engineering resources. Library instruction classes are also available to improve students' information-seeking skills for lifelong learning.
