Political science materials have been collected by the University Library since 1867. Initially
the political science collection was housed with the main collection. In 1964-65 the political
science collection was separated from the History collection and merged with education, psychology,
sociology, and social work to form the Education and Social Science Library.
Currently the collection numbers approximately 185,000 volumes in areas such as American
government and politics, comparative government and politics, international relations, political
behavior, and public policy. The political science collection is especially strong in the areas of
international relations and conflict resolution. The materials in the Education and Social Science
Library are supplemented by resources in the
History,
Documents,
Law, and
Undergraduate Libraries. Please direct all comments
