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. - -The present assignment follows: - -_Ground Floor_ - - 110-111 Agriculture - 112 German - 113 German (Weinhold Library) - 114-117 Economics - 118-120 Political Science - 121 Anthropology - 122-123 Philosophy - 124-127 English - 128 Public Speaking - 129 History Sources Library - 130-132 History - -_Third Floor_ - - 303 Library of French Thought - 307 French - 308 Spanish - 309 Mathematics - 310 Astronomy - 311 Latin - 312 Classical Archaeology and Ancient History - 313 Classical Library - 314 Greek - 315-316 Education - 317 Geography - -_Fourth Floor_ - - 416 Oriental Languages - 419 Slavic Languages - 421 Semitic Languages - 425 Kiang Library of Chinese Literature - - - - -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. - - -DEPARTMENTAL LIBRARIES IN BERKELEY - - Agricultural College Library 103-106 Agricultural Hall - Anatomy Dept.

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.
