Circulation Policies
Loan books circulate for a 2-week period. You do not need to be affiliated with the University to borrow Loan books; however, we will ask you to complete a User Data Card. Books may be renewed once by phone or in person. The collection is small, therefore we request that only 3 books be checked out to one person at a time. Reference books do not circulate outside of CEW. Copying is available on a self-serve basis at 10 cents/page. The CEW Library uses a unique Classification System to organize materials. You may want to browse the sections of the collection that are of greatest interest to you, based on our classification scheme.
