cards for materials in all of the library system. The Order, Serials, and Technical
Processes Departments, situated in the main library building, order, catalog and
prepare the library materials for use.
 The Department of Reference and Bibliography consists of the University College
 Reading Room for freshmen and sophomores, three reading rooms for upperclassmen,
 graduate students and faculty in three major subject divisions, i. e., social sciences,
 humanities, and sciences; and a Reference and Bibliography Room where indexes,
 abstracts, trade, national, and subject bibliographies, and catalogs of other library
 holdings may be found. Reference librarians offer bibliographical assistance to
 faculty members, and are available to lecture to classes on the use of reference and
 bibliography tools.
 The library is a depository for United States documents, and receives many
state documents as well as those from other countries and from United Nations.
The majority of federal documents are not cataloged but can be obtained from the
Documents Librarian in the Social Science Room.
 The Audio-Visual Services maintain a record library, including a rental collection
and a non-circulating collection. It also lends to departments of instruction various
types of projectors, and will borrow or rent films for classroom use. No charge is
made for this service, but the department of instruction pays rental and postage
costs, either from its own funds or from its library book allotment. Instruction in
the use of 16mm projectors is provided, or arrangements may be made to have pro-
jection work done for a reasonable fee. Microfilming and photographic reproduction
is done as an aid to research work.
 Each academic department, throui the individual or committee designated by
the head of the department, recommends the purchase of books, periodicals, and
other materials in its field of specialization. These recommendations are forwarded
to the library Order Department, where they are checked against the library collec-
tion. If there is no unnecessary duplication, and the balance on hand in the depart-
mental fund is sufficient to pay for them, the materials are ordered.
 The Director of University Libraries is responsible for all the university li-
braries, with the exception of the library of the College of Law, the library of the
Agricultural Experiment Station and the library of the General Extension Division.
Rules for the government of the library are formulated by the Committee on Univer-
sity Libraries, which also receives and passes on complaints, advises on the li-
brary budget, and allots funds to the various colleges and departments for the pur-
chase of books for the library, subject to the approval of the University Senate.
