RULES GOVERNING THE USE OF MATERIALS
1. PERMISSION TO EXAMINE: Permission to examine materials will be granted to all persons who complete
this application form, provide valid identification (preferably a driver’s license or UConn ID), and agree to abide by
the following rules and regulations. Permission is granted subject to restrictions that may have been placed on the
material by its donors or depositors. Access to unprocessed collections or unprocessed portions of partially
processed collections will be at the discretion of the department. In certain cases, researchers may be required to
use reference copies when they are available. Researchers should complete a separate call slip for each group of
materials.
2. PROTECTION OF MATERIALS: Readers are required to leave coats, briefcases, purses, laptop cases and
other personal belongings in lockers provided. Only pencils, note paper, laptops, and film/digital cameras may be
taken into the reading room. Eating and drinking are prohibited. Cell phone ringers must be set to mute or vibrate.
All belongings taken into the reading room are subject to inspection by the staff.
3. USE OF MATERIALS: The researcher is responsible for safeguarding any materials made available for use.
Make sure materials rest fully on the work surface, turn pages from the top of the document. Materials may not be
leaned on, written on, folded, traced, or handled in any way likely to damage them. Readers are asked to handle
papers carefully, maintaining their established order in folders and notifying a staff member if papers are misfiled or
if a date is believed to be inaccurate. Materials should be carefully replaced in the folders so that edges do not
protrude. Folders should be kept in order in the boxes. Materials no longer needed should be returned to the
reference desk.
