Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning Research Guide
Reference Materials
Reference materials provide background or factual information on a topic, or provide a way to find other materials. Most reference sources reside in the Reference area on the Lower Level of the W.E.B. Du Bois Library (one flight down from the Entry Floor); for sciences-oriented materials, visit the Integrated Sciences and Engineering Library Reference Collection (same level as entry on the 2nd floor of the Lederle Lowrise). Some particularly useful landscape architecture and regional planning reference sources follow:
