Because of the small size of the collection, it is suggested that faculty members return their slides when not in use, or leave the slides in the Slide Room except for the time when they will actually be used in class. Students requiring slides for class purposes may borrow a maximum of 40 slides for a period not to exceed 1 day. Slides may be selected ahead of time and left in the Slide Room on reserve. Slides borrowed may occasionally be renewed, but only on an individual basis and at the discretion of the Slide Curator. Any slide that is kept by a non-faculty patron for longer than 1 day will be considered overdue and will be subject to immediate recall.
Patrons select the slides they wish to use themselves.
The Slide Room staff will offer assistance if it is needed. After the patron has selected the slides that he or she wishes to use, the slides are checked out at the Circulation Desk. The circulation record should reflect all the slides that are being borrowed. When the patron returns the slides, they should be checked in by the Slide Room staff. If the matter of a lost or damaged slide is not satisfactorily resolved by the borrower and the Slide Curator, the information will be forwarded to the appropriate Department Chair, who will take whatever action he or she deems appropriate.
