Patrons should allow at least 7 days for interlibrary loan transactions. Library books circulate to Hartwick students, faculty, and staff for a semester. Reference materials and periodicals must be used in the library. All loans are subject to recall for use by another patron or for reserve use. Students have borrowing privileges at both Milne and Huntington Library and must abide by local borrowing policies.
Identification cards are necessary for borrowing.
The reference librarians help students to locate facts and other documentation, create a bibliography, and learn to search the Internet and World Wide Web. They assist students in using on-line services in an effective manner and are generally a good place to start when beginning to do research. Faculty select items that must be made available to many patrons for short periods of time to be placed in the reserve collection. Reserve items circulate only within the library for two-hour periods. Reserve material is usually very closely related to course assignments.
