Though the size of the collection has increased
over the years, the library has remained a working
collection, relying on the Bookstacks and on other
departmental library collections for backup. Materials
relevant to labor and industrial relations are
also located in the Commerce, Education and Social
Sciences, Illinois Historical Survey, History,
Law, and Engineering Libraries. Great emphasis
is placed on collecting materials published by
labor unions and pamphlet and fugitive material,
as well as materials about labor in Illinois.
