Teaching & Learning

Libraries

  • In honor of the 150th anniversary of Lehigh's founding, the Libraries have created a new collection called Early Publications of the Lehigh Faculty in Lehigh Preserve, Lehigh University's institutional repository. This collection presents a selection of the scholarly papers written by Lehigh faculty prior to 1923.
  • Moved the current journals print collection to the first floor of the E. W. Fairchild-Martindale Library (EWFM)
  • Increased student study and collaborative space on the 2nd floor of Fairchild-Martindale
  • Moved collections from EWFM to Linderman Library - the Microfilm collection and the Folklore, Costumes, Social Customs (390 Dewey Classification) book and journal collections were moved to Linderman ground floors
  • Installed new software and refined workflows to increase efficiencies in book ordering and filling inter-library loan requests resulting in better turnaround time for library researchers
  • Expanded descriptions of many books/titles held in the Library Materials Center, making them easier to search and find in ASA, our online catalog.
