LIBRARY POLICY


The combined JEPS and UC Libraries are now up and running. The library is still a non-lending library. The card file for materials in the Jepson Herbarium Library is on the work table. New UC accessions are also being filed in there. Next to these four drawers is a set of drawers with cards for books checked out of the BioScience Library, i.e., books continuously on loan to the Herbaria. On the very top of the card files is a box with drop tags.

If you have questions, please ask Margriet Wetherwax, 1002 VLSB, 3-7008, or email at margriet@uclink4.berkeley.edu.

VISITORS

This is an internal research collection. The library is open only to in-house staff, students working under the sponsorship of the herbaria, and visiting researchers. New visiting researchers need to make an appointment with Margriet Wetherwax to become familiar with the "eccentricities" of filing in the library. Outside students or members of the general public that want to look at a book currently checked out from the BioScience Library to the Herbaria Library must request a recall from the BioScience Library on the second floor.

BOOKS

Books may not be taken out of the Herbarium proper, i.e., rooms keyed with the herbarium master key. Margriet has the keys to the locked cases. Irene has a spare key. If you must use the book on your desk for a short period of time, please leave a drop tag in its place.

JOURNALS

Journals may not be taken out of the library except to the photocopy machine in room 1001. Please ask authors for reprints!

MAPS

Maps and atlases may not be taken out of the library. Please put a droptag in the file when you take out a map so that you can refile it when you are done studying it.
