onto your regular shipping shelves. Call Jen Hain Teper to arrange for pick-up of more than 100 volumes. DO NOT put items that must first go to
the Conservation Unit into the OSLF plastic totes.

Special OSLF Locations and Processing Procedures for Building Use Only Materials
Materials housed at the OSLF that can only be used onsite in the original owning library require special procedures. Library units wishing to limit use of
particular materials in this way should contact Betsy Kruger if they do not yet have one of the special OSLF location codes described below. OSLF does not
have staff to monitor patron use of material onsite, so if the material you are sending requires such supervision, please follow these guidelines for insuring
that the material is sent to your library to be used. The OSLF also does not have staff to rewrap wrapped newspapers, so all these must be used onsite at
the original sending unit.
