Landscape Architecture  

Welcome!

At the Auraria Library, landscape architecture materials are located in several different areas.  Because of this it is important to become familiar with the various locations.  Generally all of the books on landscape will be found on the second floor  in the SB section.  Landscape periodicals are found in the library Periodicals Department on the first floor in alphabetical order by the title of the journal for current issues, and the backfiles which are in paper will be found in the bound section under the SB call numbers.   The majority of backfiles of periodicals are on microform. You can ask for help with microforms at the Reference Desk.  Landscape video programs and films are found in the Film and Video Department on the first floor. Consult the Skyline online catalog to identify nonprint programs.

It is important to use subject headings which are appropriate when searching architecture subjects on the Auraria Library Skyline catalog, or when using other paper and online sources.  There are several methods of determining proper subject headings including consulting the Library of Congress Subject Headings books which are located near the Reference Desk, consulting A dictionary of architecture and landscape architecture, London | New York: Oxford University Press, 2006.  (NA31 .C864 2006), or talking to landscape architecture faculty and other experts in the field.   Also, it is important to do searches on Skyline using the Library of Congress subject search.

The Reference Desk located on the first floor of Auraria Library will provide assistance with architecture research any time the library is open.  In addition, the Auraria Library Arts and Architecture Bibliographer  Linda Tietjen may be contacted by telephone or email for assistance with research.
