Philosophy

The Hesburgh Libraries provides resources and services to support philosophy research at Notre Dame. Much of the circulating philosophy collection can be found on the 13th Floor of the Hesburgh Library, in the Library of Congress classification ranges B-BD and BH-BJ. Philosophy of Science (Q 175) and Political Philosophy (JA 71) materials can be accessed on the Lower Level. Important non-circulating reference works in the field such as dictionaries and encyclopedias are in the Hesburgh Library's 1st Floor reference collection.

The librarian for philosophy, Alan Krieger, provides research consultations to students and faculty in one-on-one, small group, or classroom settings. His expertise includes helping to define a research topic, finding and evaluating sources, and acquiring needed resources for specific projects when they are available.
