“ The individual in whose behalf a loan is solicited pays all transportation charges and undertakes to conform to the conditions of use made by the lending library. This library also lends many books to other libraries. Individuals living some distance from Berkeley should request loans through their local libraries. As this library is primarily for the use of the university faculty and students, applications for loans by other libraries should be restricted to books difficult to obtain by purchase and not available in a nearer library. ”

“ A card catalogue of all maps in the Map Room has been compiled and serves as a geographic index to the collection. To use this catalogue or to see maps apply to the Reference Department.
University Publications.—The library receives many publications of other universities. Catalogues, administrative reports, theses, department and student publications come unbound. These are recorded in the serial record and are filed alphabetically under the name of the university on the first floor of the stack. ”

“ The Karl Weinhold Library, presented to the University by John D. Spreckels, is now in seminar [18] 113. It was the private library of the late Professor Weinhold of the University of Berlin, who had gathered together in it over 6000 volumes and more than 2000 pamphlets devoted to Germanic language, literature, folklore, and antiquities. The original editions of works of literature in which it is especially rich are listed in Library Bulletin 16. ”

“ Readers who do not care to wait for call slips may leave books on the return desk or drop them in the slot cut in it, but as they are responsible for books as long as their slips remain on file, reclaiming them insures against possible error. ”

“ Students failing to comply with the above seminar regulations are liable to forfeit seminar privileges.
VII. Library Fines and Penalties.

“ Additional copies will only be purchased on special request and not more than two copies in all can be bought from General Library funds. Books or magazines for departmental libraries are ordered in the usual way through the library, but must be paid for from the departmental budget, and to avoid misunderstanding the fund should be indicated under the proper heading. Suggestions as to desirable [28] material to be obtained by gift or exchange will always be welcome. ”
