Special Collections Reading Room Policy
We welcome your use of our resources and ask that you follow these rules in order to
help us preserve materials for future use.
- Eating, drinking, and smoking are not permitted in the reading room.
- All readers must show a photo I.D. when they register
and sign the Reading Room Log each day they use the collections.
- Materials do not circulate and must be used in the Special Collections Reading
Room. Fill out a separate signed call slip for each item.
- No pens, of any sort, may be used in the Reading Room for any reason. Only pencils may be
used while working in the Reading Room.
- Staff may give specific directions for handling various items. When using manuscript or
archival collections, users will be given access to only one box at a time and will only work
on one folder at a time. Documents must be returned to folders and boxes in the same order as
they were originally.
- Photocopying is done only by Special Collections staff and at their discretion,
based on department guidelines. Because the staff have other
duties, they may not be able to photocopy on demand and
arrangements will be made to meet users needs as efficiently
as possible.
- These materials are made available for study only. It is your responsibility to know and
abide by statues covering copyright and fair use for publication from these sources, literary
property rights, and right-to privacy.
- Applications must be made to this department for permission
to publish. Some fees may apply.
- Bags, backpacks, and briefcases must be left in the cubby
holes provided.
