Faculty Studies in Olin and Kroch Libraries

All members of the University Faculty are eligible to apply for faculty studies in Olin and Kroch Libraries. Other members of the University’s instruction and research faculty and visiting scholars with non-professorial appointments at Cornell may also apply for faculty studies.

Studies are assigned on the basis of availability and the following priorities:

Studies will be assigned only for specific research projects that require heavy use of Olin or Kroch library materials that cannot, or can only with difficulty, be used away from the Library. The existence of faculty studies does not relieve individual academic departments of their responsibility for providing faculty members with adequate office facilities. Library studies are provided for specific research projects only and may not be used as adjunct office or conference space. Full details available at Faculty Studies Policies and Procedures (.doc).

An application can be filled out and returned to psaadmin@cornell.edu, at which point it will be put on a waiting list for the next available Faculty Study. Due to high demand, we cannot grant requests for individual faculty study occupancy. When a study becomes available the applicant will be contacted with the information necessary to pick up the key and pay the 30 dollar refundable key deposit.
