Therefore, we are as eager to share our holdings with first-year students as we are to work with scholars from around the world. Closed on Saturdays and Sundays as well as all holidays when the library is closed. Check the hours of the main library for holiday openings. Before using the collections, you will be required to present valid identification and fill out a request to examine specific materials. None of the items in these collections circulate, and all must be used within our reading room.
Users are welcome to bring laptop computers.
We reserve the right to limit the number of photocopies made for any patron. Plans for publication of any material from our collections should be discussed with the curator of special collections. Copyright information Users should be aware that in many cases we do not own the literary rights to the collections under our care. Regardless of the physical ownership of the manuscript itself, that right remains with the writer and his or her heirs. Therefore, it is the responsibility of an author to secure permission of the owner of the literary property rights when quoting any unpublished material from the collection.
