The Gravure Research Library is a new addition to RIT's gravure resources. It is also a testament of RIT's and GEF's commitment towards educating and aiding students and faculty alike to get their hands on valuable resources. The library contains an assortment of periodicals, books, and videos.
Right now, we are in the process of cataloging our book collections with the collaboration of RIT's Wallace Library. Students and faculty will be able to search the catalog of RIT's Library and find gravure related books, which will be located within the library.
On Gravure Day, April 5th 2005, the official ribbon cutting ceremony for the Library took place, marking a new era in RIT's School of Print Media. Feel free to visit us at any time in the future and check the library.
