The Center for Human Resources and Labor Studies Reference Room is a small reference library created specifically for the HRIR program.  We specialize in the areas of human resource management and labor relations.  The Reference Room is utilized by HRIR students, but also by faculty, alumni, the professional community, and the general public. 

We are located in the Hubert Humphrey Center, on the 2nd floor, room 280.  The CHRLS library can be used by anyone; however, ONLY faculty and graduate students from the Center for Human Resources and Labor Studies may check items out.

The library's collection is comprised of a wide range of topics, including recruitment, training, compensation, job satisfaction, motivation, stress, drug testing, strategic management, staffing, effects of technological change, mergers, diversity, labor relations, leadership, unions, organizational behavior, absenteeism, and turnover.

In addition to books, the library maintains print subscriptions to more than 100 professional and trade journals and has access to the large electronic collection of the University of Minnesota Library.
