Users of the Special Collections Department Reading Room should
complete a call slip, transcribing the complete Call Number, with brief
details of the document from the Title or Description fields. Any Item

Room regulations for further

Remote users enquiring by letter,
email, etc. should cite the complete Call Number and any Item Number if
given.
