Main Collections

The Business & Economics Library primarily serves the instructional and research needs of the College of Business and the Department of Economics faculty and students.

Its core collection contains approximately 65,000 volumes and 1,200 periodical and serial titles. A growing part of the collection is available in electronic form. For items not found in the UIUC collection, go to the Interlibrary Borrowing Menu.

While the majority of the Business & Economics Library's collection relates to the broad subjects of accounting, business administration, economics, and finance, peripheral areas such as sociology, statistics, communications, and labor & industrial relations also form part of the collection.
