Use of library materials

Watson Library is a closed-stacks, non-circulating collection. Requested books are paged for visitors and must be used in the library. Paging begins at 10:00 am and ends at 4:00 pm. It takes approximately 15 minutes for items to be paged. Items are paged by clicking the Request this Item button from the record in WATSONLINE. You must have a library card to request items. Items may only be requested from within Watson Library. Three items may be requested at one time, but you may accumulate as many items over the course of your visit as you need.
