Using the HKS Library
The Library Services Desk is located at the front of the HKS Library on the ground floor of the Littauer building. Here, you can borrow books and equipment, troubleshoot library computers and printers, and get research help.
Access for Persons with Disabilities
LRS is committed to providing access to its collections and services for persons with disabilities, and will make every reasonable effort to assist users with special needs. The HKS Library is wheelchair accessible. Contact Keely Wilczek, Manager of Collections & Library Services, to inquire about arrangements.
Visitor Access
LRS serves the HKS community, alumni, and Harvard affiliates. Use of the HKS Library by visitors without a Harvard ID or Library Borrowing Card is restricted to individuals pursuing research in public policy, and is granted at LRS’ discretion.
For details on using the HKS Library without a Harvard ID, contact Julie Petzold, Access Services Librarian, or review Harvard Library’s policies online.
