Processing Special Collections Requests

• Select materials from Special Collections are available for patrons in Camden and Newark to use, with a 5 day In House Use Only restriction.

• Newark Law Library patrons can have materials delivered to Dana, and Camden Law Library patrons can have materials delivered to Robeson. When updating the status of the request, be sure to note that the material is available at these locations and not their Law Library.

• Under no circumstances do items from SNCLX do not circulate. These requests can be immediately marked UNFILLED.

• If the request is for a journal article, book chapter or other document that is within a length of thirty pages, the request can be photocopied and/or scanned and delivered.

• All other requests require authorization to circulate, from the appropriate Special Collections staff person.
  1. Contact the appropriate Special Collections staff person via email, giving them any relevant information about the request, including title, call number, barcode and sub-location, delivery location.

  2. Within a 24 hour period, Special Collections staff will determine whether or not the item can circulate. If it can, retrieve the material, complete a Call Slip (in the Patron field write RDS-ALEX and the name of the staff person who contacted you), and leave both at the Service Desk and reply to RDS staff's email request.
  4. Secure a In House Use Only band around the book, and process the material as you would any other In Library Use Only loans.
  4. When an item is returned, remove the band and return to Special Collections.
