Graduate students may check out stack materials for an entire semester (they are subject to recall after 3 weeks). Items may be renewed online twice. Also, if an item is checked out by someone else you may either place a recall on it or request an interlibrary loan.
If we don’t own a book or journal article that you need you may request it on interlibrary loan. Books will be sent to Jackson Library; articles will be sent to your desktop.
