- Milton S. Eisenhower Library
The Milton S. Eisenhower Library (called "MSE" by students), is the Johns Hopkins University principal research library and the largest in a network of libraries at Johns Hopkins. This network, known as "The Sheridan Libraries", encompasses the Milton S. Eisenhower Library and its collections at the Albert D. Hutzler Reading Room in Gilman Hall (called "The Hut" by students), the John Work Garrett Library at Evergreen House and the George Peabody Library at Mount Vernon Place.
History
Opened in 1964, the library was named for the university's eighth president, Milton S. Eisenhower, brother of former U.S. president Dwight D. Eisenhower, whose vision brought together the university's rich collection of books, journals and other scholarly resources.
Collection
The Eisenhower Library collection numbers over 2.6 million volumes and houses over over 20,000 journal subscriptions. Strengths in the humanities include German and Romance Languages,Philosophy and the Ancient Near East. In science and engineering, collection strengths include biomedical engineering, chemistry and environmental engineering. The library also offers an extensive array of electronic resources, including full-text books and journals, specialized databases, and statistical and cartographic data.
Building
Only two of the MSE library's six stories are above ground, the rest are beneath. However, the architects designed the building so that every level has windows and natural light. The design accords with a bit of traditional campus lore which says no structure on campus can be taller than Gilman Hall, the oldest academic building.
