You may email your list of requested material or fill out call-cards in the Houghton Reading Room. Requests should be limited to a total of twelve books and manuscripts per class. On the day of the class, the material will be arranged on the Seminar Room table. Handling restrictions will be explained by Houghton staff. Only the instructor should handle the material, and books or manuscripts should never be passed from hand to hand.
Students can circulate freely around the table to examine the material closely.
Students attending seminars should be notified that no food or drink is permitted in the library, and no bags or knapsacks are allowed in the Seminar Room. Only pencils and notebooks are permitted for note-taking. Students should bring with them as little as possible since our locker space is limited, and the lobby guard must inspect all notebooks and folders each seminar participant carries out of the seminar room.
