Overview
This guide is intended to serve as a starting point for locating information pertaining to planning, using both print and electronic resources available through the University at Albany Libraries.
- Use the yellow tabs for information about finding different types materials.
- Because Planning tends to be interdisciplinary in nature, materials are located in all three of the University Libraries. Call numbers for print materials listed here starting with "ULIB" are located in the University Library, sometimes referred to as the Main Library. Call numbers beginning with the prefix “REF” are in the Reference area on the first floor, and those with the prefix “RBR” are on Reserve at the Circulation Desk. Call numbers beginning with "DEWEY' are at the Dewey Graduate Library on the downtown campus. Call numbers beginning with "SCIENCE" are located in the Science Library.
- Most of the electronic resources covered here are accessible from off campus for registered University at Albany library borrowers and can be identified by the
logo. For more information on accessing these resources remotely, see Off-Campus Access Instructions For Databases and Online Journals.
This guide is not intended to be comprehensive, and the library owns many more resources than are listed here. If you would like more assistance, please contact the Reference Desk.
