Study Shelves

  • To request an assigned shelf in the West Atrium on C Floor in Firestone, please fill out the form below.
  • Assigned study shelves (maximum 35 inches) are issued by Marquand staff on a priority basis to an eligible class of patrons
  • Assigned shelf holders have a special responsibility for respecting the Library’s no food and drink policy within Marquand spaces.
  • Marquand's spaces are non-circulating. No Marquand books may leave the West Atrium at any time.
  • Books may be retrieved individually or using book trucks for use in the West Atrium reading room, study carrels or comfortable seating.
  • Books should be reshelved prior to leaving the West Atrium.
  • There is a designated black cart for returns.
  • Books requested from Marquand (McCormick Hall collection--"remote storage"--in Upstate NY, and "remote storage" ReCAP) will be charged to one's shelf and made available there.
  • Deliveries happen from Upstate NY twice per week and ReCAP five days per week, but may take time to arrive in Firestone. Read request-related emails closely.
  • Items uniquely held by Columbia (i.e. Avery Library) and Harvard Fine Arts Library must be consulted in the Scribner Atrium. Request the Princeton copy, if one; the URL will lack "SCSB."
  • Shelf usage will be monitored throughout the year. Unused or little used shelves may be reassigned.
  • Study shelves are not meant to hold personal or non-Marquand library books due to space limitations.
  • The use of post-its or post-it flags will not be tolerated due to the damage they may cause to pages. Please use available paper flags/scrap paper instead.
  • Users assigned a study shelf must agree to abide by these policies.
  • NOTE: lockers to store non-Marquand books may be available for PU affiliates. Consult this link.
