Howard Tilton Memorial Library Review

This place is sadly outdated and not properly set up to handle the needs of students. There is never enough study space, especially during finals week. While the attempts to spruce up the bathrooms and stairwell are nice, it still leaves the Tulane campus significantly lacking in a very basic function of their facility, space to research and study.

Suggestion:
Increase the amount of study space. Take out the old book shelves and install rolling shelves. Buy more study desks.

Not a large library but there are many quiet desks at which you can sit to study. Inside there is also a miniature coffee shop/bar with some things you would find in ... a coffee shop.

Staff are nice and helpful.

Two things first: this library is open until 3:45am every day, and it's open to the public, although in order to take books home one needs to be enrolled at Tulane. Both of these aspects make it an indispensible and excellent academic resource in New Orleans. Aside from books, this library also gives access to newspapers, journals, audio and video recordings, as well as special / rare collection items. A small coffee shop is conveniently located in the lobby. No designated parking for cars, but easy access for bicyclists and pedestrians.

Nice place for some light reading.

Nice Univeristy environment, very pleasant.
