Collections

The lower level houses, on compact shelving, materials from the original Crerar collection that remain in Dewey Decimal classification, including copies of historical standards. Volumes in the "Crerar Dewey" collection having call numbers beginning with M or T are also located on the lower level in the compact shelving. Journals in East Asian languages, on all science subjects, are also shelved separately in the compact shelving. The entire Crerar collection, covering all areas of science and medicine, is now listed in the online catalog.

Departments

Located on the lower level is the USITE/Crerar computer cluster (managed by NSIT) and the CyberCafe (both accessible only from the front entrance area to the Library.) On the lower level within the Library are training rooms used by University Human Resources and the University Library, a conference room, and the area housing the Photoduplication operations.
