Paging Rare
Books
Once you find a book in the catalog that is
located in Special Collections, you will need to fill out a page slip.
These can be found at the front desk of the Center. Fill the slip out
with the call number, title, author, and date of the book along with your
contact information, and turn it in to the staff at the front desk. Paging
normally takes about 20 minutes.
Paging Archives
and Manuscripts
In order to look at archival or manuscript collections,
you will need to come to the Center and speak briefly with a librarian
on our staff. He or she will show you how to use the finding aid for the
collection, and show you how to fill out the paging form.
