CIRCULATION - MORRISON COLLECTION
(FOURTH FLOOR)
The Morrison Collection is for research only. No materials may be removed from the Baskin
Suite. The stack area is closed at all times. A separate card catalog for the Morrison Collection
will be maintained. There are two existing keys to the Morrison Collection Room. The two keys
will be held by the Chairman of Learning Resources and the Chairman's designated agent.
Researchers, i.e. faculty members, graduate students and advanced scholars, or SAC students
who have unique research needs are required to show identification before making applications
to use the collection. Two references are required. Applications from SAC faculty need to be
signed by the Department Chairman. Approval of applications is not guaranteed. A citation to
the Morrison Collection must be made for any subsequent publication. Researchers are
encouraged to donate such publications to the Morrison Collection.
