Library & Research Services’ collections support the HKS mission, enabling and sharing our community’s scholarship. We collaborate with community members to create, grow, and improve our collections.
Support: LRS strives to meet the research and curriculum needs of HKS through communication and partnerships with faculty, students, fellows, and staff.
Inclusion: LRS works to foster inclusion among members of the community and actively engage in conversations to provide resources that meet the community’s continually changing and diverse needs.
Adaptability: LRS maintains awareness of the current and upcoming subject interests of HKS and is flexible and creative in providing access to materials in a variety of formats.
LRS accepts donations of digital and physical items to our collection on a limited basis when they are compatible with the Library’s collecting philosophy and enhance or complete its selection effort. LRS reserves the right to limit such gifts to those which are substantially beneficial and are cost-effective to receive, catalog, process, maintain, and preserve. LRS assumes ownership of all donations and reserves the right to add donated materials to its collections or discard them as appropriate. Contact LRS with your donation-related inquiries.
At HKS, our scholarship is interdisciplinary and our community is diverse. LRS reflects these qualities by collecting in a broad range of subjects, including but not exclusive to HKS Policy Topics.
Below, you can browse our general collection of books, journals, and databases. You can also explore our several special collections. Current HKS community members can find details on accessing collections materials in the HKS Hub.
