A key holder has the responsibility for the collection at all times, particularly after hours when the library is closed. A key may not be loaned or copied. A lost key must be reported to the Marine Science Librarian immediately. Any violation will result in forfeiture of the library key. The key holder must return the library key to the Marine Science Librarian prior to leaving the Institute.
Patrons can access it in the library or through remote access at home or office.

Search by author, title, subject, keyword, etc. UnCover Reveal , an email alert service designed to keep researchers current on the latest articles and books published in their areas of interest, is also available. Reference assistance is available in person or by email. The librarian always encourages library instruction.
