Statement of Services and Access:

"The science libraries are intended to support the information gathering practices of Yale students, staff, and faculty. We also offer reciprocal assistance to scholars from other universities. We use the online Yale Directory to determine Yale affiliation. We will provide basic assistance for others if (a) this will not take much of our time, and (b) it does not conflict with the restrictions of our existing licenses. In instances where an non-Yale person asks for services beyond this level we inform them that they must visit the local public library at Southern Connecticut State University. Any questions of service levels based upon Yale affiliation are referred to the Library Privileges Office (phone: 432-1853)."
