The various libraries of the University are placed as follows: The general
library, the medical, the chemical, and the Isabel Mercein Tunstall Library of
Poetry, in the Rotunda; the astronomical, in the Leander McCormick Observatory;
the biological and botanical, in the Biological Laboratory; the engineering,
in the Mechanical Laboratory; the geological in the Lewis Brooks Museum of
Natural History; the law, in Minor Hall; the mathematical and the Hertz classical,
in Cabell Hall; and the physical, in the Rouss Physical Laboratory.
The general library is for the use of the corps of instruction and administration
of the University and the students in all departments of the institution.
The collection contains more than ninety thousand volumes, and includes the
standard books of history, literature, and science, and is particularly rich in
materials for the study of social and economic achievements and tendencies.
The reference section is well supplied with encyclopedias and other sources of
information.
The general, the medical and the chemical libraries are open daily, Sunday
excepted, from 9 A. M. to 4 P. M., and from 7:30 to 10:30 P. M.; the Law Library
from 9 A. M. to 2 P. M., from 3 to 5 P. M., and from 7 to 10 P. M.
Books in the general library may be lent only to the following persons:
(1) officers and students of the University; (2) persons whose former official
connection with the University entitles them to consideration; and (3) other
persons recommended by an officer of the University. The last named must
make a deposit of five dollars and must pay, for each year or fraction thereof,
a fee of one dollar. The deposit will be returned on request, less any penalties
that may have been incurred by the detention or injury of books. No professor,
officer, or student may borrow books for the use of others.
No book may be taken from the library until it has been charged at the
desk. Two weeks is the maximum period for which books may be lent, and
the date on which the loan expires is stamped in the book. The loan may be
renewed unless another person entitled to the privileges of the library has
applied for the book.
Books in the reference collection are not to be removed from the library,
but may be freely consulted. All bound magazines are classed as reference
books.
Books in current general use in connection with any course of instruction
may be temporarily placed on the reference shelves and made subject to the
above rule.
Books which are especially valuable or peculiarly liable to injury, are not
available for circulation.
The latest numbers of current periodicals are withheld from circulation.
