To borrow books, they must register at any of the MIT Libraries circulation desks. Cards are valid in all the libraries. No card or ID is needed to read in the library.

This question frequently arises when people have preprints, drafts, or papers presented at conferences and they are searching for the published paper. Indexes, even those with online versions, can take three or four months to list a paper. Use Barton , the online catalog, to see if the book is in the MIT libraries' collection. If it is, a call number will be listed that includes the name of the library in which the book is located. To determine whether MIT subscribes to a journal, do a title search in Barton using the name of the journal, not title of the specific article.
