Since the Maps Collection's primary mission is to provide reference and research assistance in support of teaching and research at the University, use of cartographic resources in the Maps Collection is encouraged. However, many of the materials in the Collection may be checked out through the Department's staff. Considerations restricting circulation include format, size, reference and research needs, and preservation. North Carolina materials, except U.S.G.S. topographic quadrangles, generally do not circulate. Loan periods range from two hours to one week with renewal possible.
All materials are subject to immediate recall.
Eligible borrowers include UNC-CH faculty, students, staff, alumni, and North Carolina residents with a valid borrower's card. Photocopying A variety of copying services is offered in the Photographic Services Section in Wilson Library . It is conveniently located across the hall from the Maps Collection. Photocopying, photographs, slides and transparencies are available. The Maps Collection accepts requests from other libraries through the Library's interlibrary loan department.
