UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
LIBRARY HANDBOOK
1918-1919

PREFACE

This handbook has been prepared chiefly for the convenience of students and members of the faculty, but it may also be of interest to university and college librarians and their assistants. It is a directory of the University Library, intended to facilitate the use of the books by indicating their location and arrangement and describing the aids by which easiest access to them may be obtained. The regulations necessary to safeguard their use are appended.

This handbook was approved for printing on April 15, 1918, by the Library Committee.

HISTORICAL SKETCH

The University Library had its origin in the small collection of books that belonged to the College of California. In 1868 the College transferred its library numbering 1036 volumes to the University. Five years later, the collection was moved from Oakland to Berkeley and was located in the north end of South Hall. These quarters soon became too small and in 1876 Henry Douglass Bacon gave $25,000 toward the erection of a separate library building. The State of California in 1878 added an equal amount to this gift and in 1881 the Bacon Library was completed.

The bequest in 1904 by Charles Franklin Doe of twenty-four per cent of his estate made available approximately $750,000 for the present library building. In 1911 a little more than half the building was completed, and in May of that year the collection was moved from the Bacon Library to the new building. A state bond issue made possible its completion in 1917.

The University Library now numbers 375,000 volumes, the average annual increase for the last five years being about 25,000 volumes. This growth has been made possible by a University book appropriation, supplemented by special funds, in particular, the Michael Reese fund, available for purchases in any field, the Jane K. Sather funds for classics, history, and law, the Ernst A. Denicke fund for German philology, and the Eugene Meyer, Jr., fund for history.

Valuable gifts of books in special fields have also been made, such as the many contributions of Mr. J. C. Cebrian in Spanish literature, and the donations of Louis Sloss, Jacob Voorsanger, and Alfred Greenebaum toward a Semitic collection.

DESCRIPTION OF LIBRARY BUILDING

The building is in the classic style of architecture and was designed by John Galen Howard. It is a steel frame, fireproof structure of the highest class, with outside dimensions of 262 feet by 224 feet. The exterior is of California granite with roof of red mission tile. The total cost including furnishing was $1,200,000.

It is rectangular in form, the covered central court, slightly over 100 feet square, being reserved for book storage, in two nine-story stacks of a combined capacity of one million volumes. At present only one of these stacks has been installed. The main entrance is from the north. To the left of the vestibule is the Bancroft Library, a collection under separate administration devoted to the history of California and the Southwest. To the right is the Reserved Book Room where are shelved those books designated by instructors as class references for the current semester. The remainder of the ground floor is given up to seminars 110 to 132.

The main stairway leads directly to the Delivery Hall where is the Loan Desk, with the entrance to the stack directly behind it. Opposite the Loan Desk, facing north, is the Reading Room, 210 feet long and 53 feet wide, with a seating capacity of five hundred and shelf room for about twenty thousand volumes. In it will be found all reference books except indexes, and in addition a fairly representative collection of general literature. At the east end of the Delivery Hall is the Reference Room through which access to the new Periodical Room is obtained. This latter, 135 feet long by 45 feet wide, extends down the east side of the main floor and provides seats for 240 readers and shelf room for the current magazines in most general use. The administration rooms occupy the corresponding position on the western side of this floor, the Associate Librarian’s Office and the Accessions Department, with a common entrance from the Delivery Hall, the Librarian’s Office and the Catalogue Room opening on the west corridor. Two rooms for the use of the library staff, three for instruction in library science, and one for binding preparation and for supplies extend across the south. The Union Card Catalogue will be found in the corridor leading to these.

On the third floor, reached by the western staircase and by the elevator, are the Library of French Thought (room 303), seminars 307 to 317, the map room (318), and a room (320) holding books not suitable for shelving in the regular stack. On the fourth floor are rooms 405 to 438, the majority used as private studies for members of the faculty, but a few of them combination seminar rooms and offices.

There are also basements on the south and west sides, the former used by the University Press as a storage room, the latter, furnished with a freight entrance and a staff elevator, being the library receiving and unpacking room. From the rear of the building between these is a public entrance. This by means of a corridor and stairway, enables readers from the south to reach the ground floor.

CLASSIFICATION

The books in the Library are at present arranged according to two systems:

1. The Library of Congress classification, slightly modified. It is expected that the entire library will ultimately be reclassified by this system. Letters are used for main classes, subdivisions are chiefly indicated by numbers. The subjects now included in this classification are:

CJ | Numismatics
CR | Heraldry
D | History and topography, except America (in progress)
E | American history
F | ” ” (local)
G | Geography, Anthropology, Folk-lore, Manners and customs, Sports and games
H | Social sciences
J | Political sciences
L | Education

2. The Rowell classification which covers all subjects not reclassified. In it instead of letters, the classes are indicated by numbers from 1 to 999 with some sub-classes given lower case letters following these. A brief table of important main classes follows.

1-15 | Philosophy
16-51 | Religion
289-299 | Law
333-561 | Science
578-599 | Industrial arts
600-681 | Fine arts
682-999 | Philology and literature

All books in the stacks are arranged according to these classifications and shelf lists on cards are available in the Catalogue Room. These are useful because they show all books in a class whether or not they happen to be on the shelves at any one time.

CATALOGUE

The library card catalogue is filed in cases in the east end of the Delivery Hall and is in two parts.

The Main Catalogue is a record of the works in the library. It gives an entry under author, under title, if distinctive or in case of periodicals, and also under specific subject or subjects if the books have been classified according to the Library of Congress scheme. For example, James Allan’s “Under the dragon flag” (reclassified) is entered in the catalogue under Allan, James; by title: Under the dragon flag; and by subject: Chinese-Japanese war, 1894-1895. Thus there are three avenues of approach, one for the reader who knows the author’s name, another for the reader who remembers the title, but cannot recall the author, and a third for the reader who wishes something on the Chinese-Japanese war and has no definite book in mind. Books not classified by the Library of Congress scheme but still under the Rowell classification have the usual author and distinctive title cards in the main catalogue, but in place of a subject entry will be found a reference from the subject to that number in the classed subject catalogue where it will be found. For example, Freud’s “Interpretation of dreams” appears in the main catalogue under Freud, Sigmund, and under Interpretation of dreams; but instead of appearing under the subject Dreams there is a reference card under that word which reads: Dreams, see subject catalogue under 11 d. On turning to the subject catalogue at that number the reader finds not only Freud’s book, but all other books in the library on the subject of dreams.

The Classed Subject Catalogue occupies one face of the two cases nearest the entrance to the Reference Room and covers only the subjects still under the Rowell classification. It is a numerical arrangement of the cards in the order in which the books stand on the shelves i.e., all cards on a given subject are grouped together under one number. Indexes in book form referring from subject to number are to be found on the tables reserved for consulting the catalogue.

The reader wishing books on meteors, for example, finds in the index opposite the word meteors the number 369. He turns to the classed subject catalogue at that number and sees there the library’s resources on that subject. He will also find in the main catalogue under the word meteors, a reference card: Meteors, see subject catalogue under 369. So whether he consults the printed index or the main catalogue, he will be referred to the same place in the classed subject catalogue.

The Call Number (which indicates the classification and the shelf location of the book) is in the upper left hand corner of the catalogue card. It must be exactly copied in the corresponding place on the call slip to enable an attendant to find the book.

Removal Slips.—For various reasons it is frequently necessary to remove cards from the catalogue. When this is done a colored removal slip is placed in the catalogue bearing the author’s name, title, and call number, and the initials of the assistant who has the card. This does not indicate that the book is off the shelf. It may as readily be obtained by copying the call number, author and title from the removal slip, as from the original card.

In the process of reclassification, it is necessary to remove the books from the shelves and the cards from the catalogue. When this is done, a card stamped Reclassification, bearing the author’s name and the title of the book, is filed in the place of the author card removed. If the book is desired by a reader, it must be requested at the Loan Desk with the statement that the card is marked Reclassification.

When difficulty is found in using the catalogues or in locating references to material supposedly in the library, inquiry should always be made at the Reference Department.

Other Library Catalogues.—The catalogues of other large libraries form important bibliographic aids. The following are available in this library:

The Union Depository Catalogue, filed in cases in the south corridor, main floor; this includes author cards for the books in the Library of Congress, various government departmental libraries in Washington, D.C., and such cards as have been printed by the John Crerar Library, Harvard University, University of Chicago, University of Illinois, University of Michigan, and Newberry libraries.

In the Catalogue Room will also be found certain printed catalogues in book form, chief among which are those of the British Museum, Bibliothèque Nationale, Boston Athenaeum, London Library, Peabody Institute Library, and Surgeon General’s Library. These may be consulted in the Catalogue Room between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. At other hours apply to the Reference Department.

THE BOOK STACK

Members of the faculty have free access to the stack. Permits are required of all others. Card for stack permit may be obtained at the Loan Desk by a graduate student and should be filled out and signed by his instructor before being presented to the Associate Librarian for approval. Though undergraduates presenting a reasonable request at the Reference Desk will be given an opportunity to look over the literature of any particular subject, permits for any length of time will only be issued in exceptional cases for, in general, undergraduate needs are met by the Reading Room and Reserved Book collections.

As far as possible books are arranged on the nine floors of the stack in proper classification sequence, but as convenience of access has caused some exceptions, a guide is posted on the central case as one enters the stack on the main floor. More detailed charts will be found on each floor.

CIRCULATION DEPARTMENT

To call for a book not on open shelves.—As it has been found impossible to allow free access to the stack, it is necessary to apply for books at the Loan Desk. The procedure in drawing a book is as follows:

A call slip when properly filled out, giving call number, author, title, name and address of the borrower, should be presented at the east end of the Loan Desk. An attendant at the desk will procure the book from the stack or make a report as to its location.

If the book is to be used in the library a white “Library Use Slip” should be filled out; if for home use a manila “Home Use Slip” is required. This distinction is important for a book taken out on a Library Use Slip is overdue if not returned the day issued. A reader must return books drawn on the Library Use Slip to the Loan Desk before leaving the library. He will be held responsible for books drawn in his name so long as his slips remain unclaimed.

To have a book held.—A book which is on loan and is desired by another reader will be reserved on its return if request is made. The inquirer will be given a postcard which should be filled out and left with a loan desk attendant. When the book is returned this card will be mailed notifying the inquirer that the book will be held four days.

To renew a book.—A book may be renewed if not in demand by another reader and if request for renewal is made before it becomes overdue. To renew a book it is necessary to give the attendant at the Loan Desk either the book or the call number and the name of the person to whom the book is charged. Wait until the attendant reports whether or not the book can be renewed. Misunderstandings occur because a book cannot be renewed and the borrower has left without waiting to get this report. A renewal may be made by mail or by telephone but there is less chance of error when the borrower calls in person. A book which is overdue will not be renewed and cannot be drawn out again by the same person until the following day.

RESERVED BOOK ROOM

Books selected by members of the faculty as assigned readings for their students are known as reserved books and are shelved in the Reserved Book Room on the ground floor of the library, to the right of the main entrance. They are grouped on the reserve shelves according to courses of instruction and a list giving the name of the course and the number of the case where the books for that course are shelved is posted on the bulletin board.

An alphabetic author catalogue of the books on reserve, giving their location by case and shelf, is on file just inside the entrance. If the desired book is not readily found on the shelves, consult this, for occasionally the same book is wanted for more than one course, or there are copies of the same title in different reserves. When class references are given try this catalogue before asking at the Loan Desk.

The books forming the History 1 collection are arranged in call number order in cases 14 to 92. There is a separate card catalogue giving a list of these books and their call numbers also a chart to aid in locating the book by the call number.

To draw a book from the room go through the turnstile, select the book, copy author’s name, short title, and the call number as it appears on the back of the book. Sign name and address, and present slip and book to the attendant at exit.

Readers are requested not to take books or handbags into the enclosure. They should also note that while books may be carried from this room to other parts of the library, excepting for overnight charges, they are issued only for use in the building and should be returned as soon as continuous reading is over. They should not be passed on to other readers or left out of use on some shelf or table while the borrower is away at class or meals. To allow most equitable use of these books readers may have only one out at a time, but a dictionary or atlas may be taken in addition.

Before leaving the library, return to the discharging desk in the Reserved Book Room all books drawn out, and reclaim and destroy slips. 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.

For the rules and regulations regarding library and home use of books and for the penalties prescribed for failure to observe them, reference should be made to pages 29-36 of this handbook.

INTER-LIBRARY LOANS

The resources of the library are supplemented by borrowing from other libraries books not readily obtainable by purchase. 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. All requests for inter-library loans should be made to the Librarian, who alone is authorized to lend books to other libraries or borrow from them.

SPECIAL COLLECTIONS

The few special collections of this library are housed in separate rooms and the books in them are restricted to use in the building.

The Archives Room on the mezzanine floor over the Reference Room is open only to those having the permission of the Librarian; others needing material kept there should apply for it at the Reference Desk. Very complete files of faculty and student publications and all available material illustrating the history of the University are shelved in this room.

California literature has for many years been made the object of a special collection, and several hundred volumes of poetry, drama, and general literature by Californians will be found shelved in the book stack under nos. 984-985. The portion of the collection classified as fiction (986) is separately shelved in room 320 and is not for general use. To consult the fiction a special permit must be obtained from the Librarian who will consider only applicants doing serious work in that field.

California and Pacific Coast history collections will be found in the Bancroft Library, on the ground floor to the left of the main entrance. This, the most complete collection of material in its field, is under separate administration and for the most part its books are not included in the General Library catalogue.

The Chinese collection, about 3600 individual works, shelved in room 425, is the gift of Mr. S. C. Kiang, whose family for generations had been gathering together this library of Chinese literature. A card catalogue of the contents will be found in the room. Students in Chinese also have access to the private collection of Professor Emeritus John Fryer, who has very kindly shelved his Chinese library in room 416 and made it available to scholars.

The Library of French Thought, to be found in room 303, was presented to the University by the French Government through The Friends of France. The titles were selected by professors of the Sorbonne as the leading contributions of French writers in all fields of knowledge. It consists of about 2500 volumes and originally formed part of the French exhibit at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition.

The Karl Weinhold Library, presented to the University by John D. Spreckels, is now in seminar 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.

SEMINAR ROOMS

These rooms are for the exclusive use of faculty and students of the departments to which they are assigned. Keys may be obtained at the Reference Desk but will be issued only to those who secure an application card, have it approved by a professor or instructor holding classes in the room, and make a deposit of one dollar with the University Cashier. Keys to table drawers may also be obtained on additional deposit of one dollar per key. No exemption from key deposit will be made to any but those holding Regents’ appointments. Reference should be made to page 33 for seminar regulations.

DEPARTMENTAL LIBRARIES

The University Library comprises not only the General Library, but also a large number of departmental libraries, seventeen on the campus, five in other parts of the state. They are under the control of the departments, who set the hours and conditions of their use, and therefore applicants for their books should go direct to them. They are for the most part made up of books purchased on departmental budgets, supplemented in some cases by deposits from the General Library. All books are purchased through the General Library and in the case of campus departments they are all included in the main catalogue with an indication of the department in which they will be found in the place of the usual call number. For those departments outside of Berkeley only such books as cannot be found on the campus are included in the public catalogue, but a shelf list of all books in each library is in the Catalogue Room.

THE REFERENCE DEPARTMENT

The Reference Desk faces the east end of the Delivery Hall, between the Reading Room and the Periodical Room. The function of the department is to give assistance to readers in their search for information or for books. Readers should apply here for aid in the use of the catalogue or for direction in finding the resources of the library upon any subject under investigation. The Reference Department has supervision over reference books, periodicals, maps, United States government documents, university archives and publications, and the “New Books” shelf.

Reading Room Collection.—Reference books are shelved in the Reading Room. Dictionaries, encyclopaedias, yearbooks, indexes, and bibliographies will be found in the two floor cases (A and B) directly back of the center desk. The collection of atlases will be found in the atlas case (C). Other works of reference, together with a collection of general literature, are arranged by subjects in the wall cases around the room. Those reclassified by the Library of Congress system begin with case 1 to the left as one enters, and the books arranged by the Rowell classification follow them. The Mary Lake collection of English and American literature occupies cases 112 to 116.

Periodicals.—The library receives approximately 8000 serials. The current numbers of 1200 of these are placed on the shelves around the Periodical Room and in the adjoining stack. These periodicals are grouped by subjects. The general magazines are in cases 1 to 4, art journals in case 5, etc. A directory of the location of subjects will be found on the bulletin board. A collection of the 296 sets of bound periodicals most frequently called for is shelved in alphabetical order in the adjoining stack room or Annex, to which readers have free access.

Recent issues of newspapers are filed in the Annex. The General Library does not subscribe to California papers as they fall within the field of the Bancroft Library.

The general indexes to periodical literature, such as Poole’s Index, The Readers’ Guide, Magazine Subject Index, and the Book Review Digest are shelved in cases 77 to 79 at the right of the entrance to the Periodical Room. Instruction in the use of these will be given to any applicant at the Reference Desk.

Periodicals are not to be taken from the room. The rules governing their circulation and use will be found on page 30-36 of this handbook.

United States Government Publications.—The library is a depository for the publications of the United States government. The bound volumes are catalogued and shelved in the stack with other books on the same subject. Unbound publications are recorded at the Reference Desk and may be consulted by applying there.

Indexes to the United States documents, covering the period from the formation of the government to the present time, will be found in case 76, at the right of the entrance to the Periodical Room.

Maps.—The map collection is located in the Map Room (318). The United States topographic and coast and geodetic survey maps, a selection of the United States hydrographic maps and of those of the British general staff, together with the maps of the principal countries of the world, the states of the United States, and the counties of California make up the greater part of the collection. 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. A collection of the latest catalogues of the larger American universities is kept at the Reference Desk.

New Books.—New books added to the library before going to their regular places in the stack are displayed on shelves back of the Reference Desk. These books are placed there on Monday and are on exhibition for one week. Readers may reserve new books for home use by making out a “Home Use Slip” and filing it at the Reference Desk. Such books will be held at the Loan Desk for three days following the succeeding Monday.

ACCESSIONS DEPARTMENT

This department has charge of the purchasing of all books and periodicals required in any part of the University. It also looks after the building up of the General Library collection by exchange and gift and the binding of all General Library books and magazines.

On the shelves of its office, on the western side of the main floor, will be found a good working collection of the trade catalogues and national and other bibliographies most used in the identification and ordering of books in English or in the chief languages of continental Europe. Files of recent second hand catalogues are also kept arranged by subject. All these may be used in the Accessions Boom between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. and when it is closed they may be had on call from the Reference Department.

The card records for book orders kept by this department include those outstanding, those in process (that is for books which have been received but may not yet be catalogued), filled orders for the last fifteen years and orders cancelled because books were not obtainable. Separately kept periodical, exchange and gift records show what numbers of any serial were received and their present location in the library.

Copies of all order sheets are filed in binders by department and from them it can readily be shown what books have been received and their cost, as well as those still outstanding and the lien on the fund made on their account. Periodicals and other continuations which form additional yearly liens on book funds are also listed in the order files, so statements of the condition of any General Library book fund can always be furnished on request.

This department has charge of the General Library binding which is done at the University Printing Office, but for periodicals being held for binding call should be made at the Reference Department. Records of those at the bindery are also kept there.

The General Library book fund is distributed by the Library Committee early in the autumn term and full details of the allotment are to be found in the printed report sent regularly to all members of the Academic Senate. Orders for books and subscriptions to new periodicals should be made on the order cards furnished by the library and should be signed by the head of the department or such members as have the authority of the department to do so. They must be filled out with approximately correct date as to place, publisher, and date of publication and should be checked with the catalogue before being handed in. When notification of the receipt of a book is desired both parts of the special double card must be filled out; merely to sign the second half is not sufficient. As a large purchaser the library buys in the cheapest markets and ships by freight, therefore under normal conditions current American books take at least six weeks and European importations four months to reach Berkeley. Cards for books needed at once should be marked “Rush” so that they may be obtained close at hand or secured by express, but it should be noted that anticipation of needs will aid the department book funds, for postage or expressage on rush books is made a part of the cost of such books.

When books are already here or on order the cards will be annotated with the call number, “in process,” or “on order” and returned to the person who asked for them. 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 material to be obtained by gift or exchange will always be welcome. Suggestions for purchase of books of general interest should be sent to the Associate Librarian, but material dealing with any subject of instruction or investigation recognized by the University should be brought to the attention of the head of the department most interested.

ADMINISTRATIVE RULES AND REGULATIONS

I. Library Privileges, including the right to draw books for home use, are allowed to:

1. Regents, faculty, and officers of the University holding Regents’ appointments, and, on application, officers of institutions of higher learning in Berkeley.

III. Faculty Privileges.

Apart from specially restricted material, the members of the faculty and those with similar privileges may withdraw books or magazines for home use without limit as to number of volumes or length of time, excepting that:

1. Modern English fiction (class 961) is restricted to two weeks.

2. Unbound periodicals which have been in the library thirty days and bound periodicals (other than class C) shelved in the Periodical Annex may be drawn only for four days, with privilege of renewal if not in demand.

3. Any book may be recalled at once for reserve or any other emergency.

4. Any book desired by another reader may be recalled as soon as it has been on loan two weeks.

5. All books must be returned or the charges renewed once a year.

6. Books must not be carried outside the state without special permission or left locked up in offices or houses when borrowers are away on vacation.

7. Faculty privileges do not include the right to confer borrowing powers on unauthorized persons, either directly or by lending books to them.

8. Transfers to other members of the faculty may be made, but will be accepted only when the recipient has assumed responsibility by signing a new charge slip or acknowledging the transfer in writing.

IV. Student Privileges.

1. Students and all others not specifically granted faculty privileges may not have more than four books for home use at one time. Overnight and periodical loans will be allowed in addition. In special cases assistants without Regents’ appointments and graduate students may obtain permission from the Associate Librarian to borrow more than four books at one time.

2. Books drawn for home use (excepting overnight charges) may be kept for two weeks. Bound periodicals shelved in the Annex are issued only over night. Unbound periodicals in the library thirty days, may, however, be borrowed for four days.

3. All books and periodicals if not overdue and if not in demand may be renewed for the same length of time as the original charge.

4. Transfers of books between students will not be recognized. All books must be returned, discharged, and a new call slip signed by the borrower.

5. Any book may be recalled at once for reserve or any other emergency. A book becomes due the day recalled and if not returned on the third day overdue borrower is subject to the prescribed fines.

6. Books charged on a Library Use Slip and not returned the same day, when recalled will be treated as overdue and the borrower becomes subject to the prescribed fines.

V. Reserved Book Room.

Books shelved in this room in order that all students may have an equal opportunity to use them, are restricted as follows:

1. Only one book will be issued at one time, but a dictionary or an atlas will be allowed in addition.

2. A book charged on a white slip must be returned on the day issued or within the time limit indicated if less than one day is allowed. It must not be taken from the building, lent to another reader, or left around the library, but returned and discharged as soon as original borrower can no longer continuously use it.

3. A book may be taken out on a pink slip on the usual overnight conditions.

VI. Seminars.

1. Books will be deposited in seminar rooms only at the request of professors or instructors. They will be placed on the shelves in the order of their shelf marks, and should be returned to their places when not in actual use. Such books must not be shut up in the table drawers. At the close of each term all books will be removed from the room excepting those needed during the next term.

2. Books deposited in seminar rooms if needed elsewhere may be withdrawn by library attendants; in such cases the person who requested the deposit will be notified if book is to be away more than one day.

3. Books deposited in seminar rooms are classed as reserved books, and must not be removed from the room where shelved. They may, however, be borrowed overnight subject to the usual procedure and regulations covering such charges. Students must have written permission of the professor or instructor who placed book in seminar to borrow it for longer than over night. All books, whether borrowed by faculty or students, must be regularly charged at the Loan Desk.

4. The use of the seminar rooms is restricted to professors and instructors and to students for whom the privilege has been requested by them. Unauthorized persons must not be admitted by students. Seminar room doors must not be left open, excepting when classes are being held in the rooms.

5. Seminar rooms must be vacated by students when the library is closed. Closing hour week days is 10 P.M.; Sundays and vacation periods, 5 P.M.

Students failing to comply with the above seminar regulations are liable to forfeit seminar privileges.

VII. Library Fines and Penalties.

Fines on overdue books are not for the purpose of revenue. Indeed, they do not accrue to the funds of the library, but they have been proved necessary to obtain observance of the regulations made to protect the rights of all readers.

1. On reserved books drawn on white slips and not returned to the discharging desk in the Reserved Book Room on the day on which drawn (or within the time limit if issued for a limited period) the fine is 50 cents a volume; this will be doubled on all books not returned before noon of the following day.

2. On books or periodicals drawn on pink overnight slips and not returned to the desk from which drawn twenty minutes after the opening hour the following day the fine is 50 cents a volume; this will be doubled on all books or periodicals not returned before noon.

3. On all other books and periodicals which become overdue the fine is 50 cents per volume if not returned on or before the third day overdue, increasing to $1.00 per volume after the sixth day. On the tenth day the case will be referred to the Recorder and the delinquent is liable to be dropped from the rolls of the University. Failure to receive overdue notices does not relieve from penalty, for the date due is stamped in each book.

4. Readers are responsible for books drawn by them so long as their call slips remain unclaimed. Fines resulting from carelessness in this regard will not be remitted. Books merely left at the desk will be considered returned when found by a library attendant. Loss or misplacement of books or periodicals should be at once reported and adjustment made, otherwise fines will be assessed as above on borrower charged with them.

5. Any person who marks, damages, or loses any library book or periodical shall be required to replace it by a new copy. If the volume is one of a set the loser becomes responsible for the perfecting of the set and if the book is out of print he will have to pay the current price of the book as far as it can be ascertained.

6. Any wilful damage to library furniture, equipment, or building will be repaired at the expense of the responsible person.

7. Any borrower for wilful or continuous violation of library regulations may be debarred by the Librarians from library privileges for the remainder of the current semester and for such other specified term as the President may direct.

*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARY HANDBOOK 1918-1919 ***

Updated editions will replace the previous one—the old editions will be renamed.

Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without permission and without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project Gutenberg™ electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG™ concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you charge for an eBook, except by following the terms of the trademark license, including paying royalties for use of the Project Gutenberg trademark. If you do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the trademark license is very easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and research. Project Gutenberg eBooks may be modified and printed and given away—you may do practically ANYTHING in the United States with eBooks not protected by U.S. copyright law. Redistribution is subject to the trademark license, especially commercial redistribution.

START: FULL LICENSE

THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK

To protect the Project Gutenberg™ mission of promoting the free distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work (or any other work associated in any way with the phrase “Project Gutenberg”), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project Gutenberg™ License available with this file or online at www.gutenberg.org/license.

Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg™ electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property (trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy all copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in your possession. If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.

1.B. “Project Gutenberg” is a registered trademark. It may only be used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg™ electronic works even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project Gutenberg™ electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg™ electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.

1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation (“the Foundation” or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the United States and you are located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project Gutenberg™ mission of promoting free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg™ works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg™ name associated with the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg™ License when you share it without charge with others.

1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project Gutenberg™ work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any country other than the United States.

1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:

1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg™ License must appear prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg™ work (any work on which the phrase “Project Gutenberg” appears, or with which the phrase “Project Gutenberg” is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed, copied or distributed:

This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org. If you are not located in the United States, you will have to check the laws of the country where you are located before using this eBook.

1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg™ electronic work is derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase “Project Gutenberg” associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg™ trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg™ electronic work is posted with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked to the Project Gutenberg™ License for all works posted with the permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg™ License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg™.

1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project Gutenberg™ License.

1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary, compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg™ work in a format other than “Plain Vanilla ASCII” or other format used in the official version posted on the official Project Gutenberg™ website (www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon request, of the work in its original “Plain Vanilla ASCII” or other form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg™ License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying, performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg™ works unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing access to or distributing Project Gutenberg™ electronic works provided that:

- • You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from the use of Project Gutenberg™ works calculated using the method you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, but he has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in Section 4, “Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.”

- • You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg™ License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg™ works.

- • You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of receipt of the work.

- • You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free distribution of Project Gutenberg™ works.

1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the manager of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
