Report for the Academic Year 1992-1993 - The Institute Libraries ...

Institute for advanced study
Both of the Institute's hbraries participate in the shared cataloguing system of
the Research Libraries Group, which gives Institute scholars computerized access
to a database that contains more than fourteen million records. Searches of this
database retrieve bibliographic information and identify the location of materials
in all participating libraries. Scholars who use the Historical Studies-Social Sci-
ence Library can also conduct computerized searches in the Avery Art Index,
the Eighteenth Century Short Title Catalogue and such indexes as the Art Index,
the Humanities Index and the Social Science Index.
All scholars affiliated with the Institute enjoy the same privileges as Princeton
University faculty in the Harvey S. Firestone Memorial Library and the nineteen
special-subject libraries in the Princeton University Library system and also in
the Robert E. Speer Library of the Princeton Theological Seminary.
The librarians, the faculties and the visiting scholars of all four Schools at the
Institute warmly appreciate gifts, too numerous to mention here, of books and
articles from former and current Members of the Institute.
