University Libraries
Resources for advanced study at Northwestern University are outstanding. Numerous research libraries, including the Main Library and five branch and special libraries on campus, contain holdings totaling 4 million volumes, 3.5 million microforms and 40,000 current journals and other serial publications. The library's electronic resources in education and psychology are extensive. In addition, students are provided access to the University's mainframe computer and to microcomputers housed within the School of Education and Social Policy.
Affiliated Institutes and Departments
Many Human Development and Social Policy faculty are also affiliated with the Institute for Policy Research, an interdisciplinary public policy research institute founded in 1968 to stimulate and support excellent social science research on significant public policy issues and to disseminate the findings to students, scholars, policymakers and the public at large.
Visiting scholars and speakers and members of internationally recognized collaborative research centers such as the Northwestern University-University of Chicago Joint Center for Poverty Research provide an intellectual resource for the HDSP community.
HDSP students and faculty attend presentations in the departments of sociology, psychology and anthropology. Contact these departments for more information, and see the SESP calendar for a schedule of conferences and presentations.
