Circulation Policy
What can be borrowed
All materials circulate except periodicals, reference materials, and microfiche. New books do not circulate for the first 30 days. Reserve materials may be checked out for 14 days.
Who may borrow
Materials may circulate to JLab staff, users, and faculty and students from colleges and universities conducting research at the Lab. JLab staff who wish to check-out materials must register. Users, faculty and students must complete a sponsor registration form (available in the library and user liasion office) and/or provide a college or university identification card. Special borrowing can be arranged by the librarian.
Interlibrary Loan
The library is an active participant in the interlibrary loan program.
If you require an item unavailable in our collection we may be able to
obtain it from another library. Please fill out an
interlibrary loan form. It generally takes 1 week to ten days to
receive materials.
When You Order Books
Printed materials purchased with lab funds via requisition or credit card
are called "Administrative titles" as indicated by the symbol ADM. These
materials are routed to the library for processing and inclusion in the
library online catalog. After processing, these materials are routed to
the purchaser and kept for an infinite period. They are subject to
recall /request for other JLab staff. These materials are returned to
the library upon termination of employment. CAUTION: All books received
in the mail room are routed through the library. Please do not have
personal books shipped to your lab address.
