Books may be checked out for use outside of the Library if more than one copy of the item is owned. Materials circulate for a one week period and are renewable if not needed by another patron. Users are responsible for damage to and replacement costs for Collection materials. Materials, when held in duplicate, may also be requested via Interlibrary loan use in other locations. Study tables are available to patrons when using Collection materials.
Researchers are responsible for the careful handling of all materials used.
Users should be aware that much of the Collection's holdings are valuable and are therefore very expensive to replace. And archival materials may be unique and are impossible to replace. Only note-taking paper and pencils may be used in the research area. The staff reserves the right to inspect all research materials and personal articles before a patron leaves the area. All materials are housed in closed stacks.
