Libraries Annex
Directions (Courtesy of the Rutgers Kiosk)IntroductionThe Rutgers University Libraries Annex is a remote storage facility located on the Busch Campus. The Libraries Annex opened in 1982 and the three-story construction is designed to house approximately one-half million volumes in a closed stacks temperature-controlled environment. Infrequently used periodicals, monographs, government documents, and archives are stored at the Libraries Annex. On-Site Use of Annex MaterialsPatrons may visit the Annex to use materials in the reading room during hours the Annex is open. Users must sign in upon entering the building and present a valid Rutgers RUconnection identification card or other acceptable photo ID. The stacks in the Annex are closed to patrons and browsing is not permitted. Annex staff retrieve requested materials from the shelves. To expedite retrieval of materials for on-site use, users are advised to call ahead to the Annex at 732/445-2089. Please search IRIS for the title and call number of the items you wish to use before calling the Annex. Circulation of Annex MaterialsRutgers Unversity students, faculty, and staff and guest borrowers may check out circulating items from the Annex. Borrowers must present a valid RUconnection card or borrower card with barcode when charging out books; no other identification is acceptable. Periodicals, reference materials, and some government documents do not circulate and cannot be charged out to patrons. However, the Annex staff will send them to other libraries for in-library use by Rutgers students, faculty, and staff. Many items in the Annex do not circulate because of their age or fragile condition. These items must be used in the reading room at the Annex and cannot be delivered to other Rutgers libraries. Delivery of Annex MaterialsRutgers University students, faculty, and staff may request delivery of books to another Rutgers library and copies of articles from the Annex collection. Use the "Deliver/Recall Book" button in IRIS for books. Eligible books will be delivered to the locations listed in the Pickup/Delivery Locations pull down menu on the form, where they can be either checked out or used in the library. Some Annex materials are restricted for on-site use and patrons must visit the Annex to use them in the reading room. Use the "Request Article/Other" button in IRIS to request a periodical article from the Libraries Annex collection. Articles will be scanned and delivered to the user's desktop via the Web. If an item at the Annex is not listed in IRIS, ask for a "Rutgers Delivery Service (RDS) - Uncataloged Materials" paper form at the circulation or reference desk of any Rutgers library. Fill out the form and give it to library staff who will fax it to the Annex. Archival Materials at the AnnexArchival materials and items from Special Collections that are stored at the Annex must be requested in advance through Special Collections and University Archives staff at the Alexander Library on the College Avenue Campus in New Brunswick. The Special Collections office can be reached by phone at 732/932-7006. Special Collections staff will arrange for delivery of requested materials to Alexander Library Photocopy EquipmentThere is one photocopy machine available for patron use. Copy cards are available for purchase in $1, $5, and $10 denominations. There is no vending machine to add value to a copy card. Photocopying of certain items may be prohibited due to the age or physical condition of the material. Please direct questions to Dean Meister, Branch Manager at meister@rci.rutgers.edu.
