Locust Street Library Facility
The 老司机福利网 Locust Street Library Facility (LSLF) holds valuable but infrequently used material in a high-density, climate-controlled, and closed-stack environment.
Transfer of these materials to the facility made space available in the Pius XII Memorial Library, the Medical Center Library, and the Vincent C. Immel Law Library for new materials and created valuable teaching and study space. The Locust Street Library Facility currently houses over 500,000 volumes, which appear in the SLU online library catalog as "Locust Street Facility."
Collections at the Locust Street Library Facility include:
- Bound journals/periodicals dated before the year 2000, in addition to all bound journals/periodicals for which we do not hold current subscriptions
- Government documents
- Law treatises

- SLU theses and dissertations
