POLICIES

Please Note: All Special Collections access is by appointment. Researchers should e-mail a request for an appointment to gml_spcollections@yahoo.com as far in advance as possible.

Due to the special nature of the collection, the following policies are enforced:

Before you arrive:

	Registration forms must be competed and processed prior to obtaining service or access to materials.
	Prior to your appointment, you must provide detailed information (title and call number) of the items you wish to consult. Use StyleCat Online Catalog to find this information.
	You are limited to 3 linear feet (one cart) of items per appointment.
	Failure to provide this information by noon of the day of your appointment will result in automatic cancellation of your appointment.

When you arrive:

	Patrons can wait for their appointment in the chairs outside of E435A. Please be patient as the staff may be delayed due to previous researchers, etc.
