Circulation PolicyThe Sterling Chemistry Library is a non-circulating collection.
Materials are expected to be in the Library for other users to
consult. ExceptionsYale Chemistry Department members may sign out a book (paper signout slips are on the service desk) to their offices or labs for use overnight, but the books should be returned within one half-hour of when the library opens in the morning.
Eli ExpressEli Express is a time-saving delivery service that allows library users to have books paged from any of the participating Yale libraries for delivery to a library chosen by the user. Books requested should be available for pickup at the selected delivery library within 48 hours of placing the request, Monday through Friday. Paricipating Libraries:
Sterling Chemistry Library materials do not circulate, but you may ask us to have materials from other libraries sent to the Kline Science Library for you to pick up there. Eligible Material: Only circulating books are eligible. Non-circulating books, journals, and reserve material, including books from the Sterling Chemistry Library, are not eligible. Rare or fragile material also may not be handled safely for delivery and are subject to in-house use only. Renewal/Returns: Books can be renewed at and returned to any of the participating libraries, at any time. Loan periods for renewals will be the same as if they were assigned at the owning library. Please do not return books to the Sterling Chemistry Library. We are not equipped to process them.
Interlibrary LoanIf a book or journal article cannot be located in the Chemistry Library or any other Yale library, it may be requested through Interlibrary Loan.
