About the LLE Library

The LLE Library is a small but active information center that stresses service to all members of the Laboratory Staff. The experienced and dedicated staff strives to minimize the time and effort that researchers spend on gathering information. Whether that information is in the LLE Library, elsewhere at the University of Rochester, or around the world.

LLE's collection is located in two areas: Pre-1989 journals are shelved in the first-floor lobby area. The Library office and the Library's main collection are located in the second-floor Annex area (Room 285). The collection includes circulating books, reference books, journals, and technical reports (microfiche).

The Library also provides a photocopier, a microfiche reader, and public computers.

Location

The LLE Library is located on the second floor in the Annex across from the Annex Conference Room near the East section of the building.
