As an Associate Editor for one of the journals/law review you have special borrowing privileges at Biddle, campus libraries, and Drexel University's main library, Hagerty Library. The arrangements made at Van Pelt and Drexel rely on your cooperation; please follow the directions for each library and do not abuse the privileges. Report any problems to your research editor. You will need your Penn ID card in order to access and sign out materials at campus libraries and at Drexel. Remember: items signed out for your comment are to be put on your personal ID cards, NOT the journal cards.
Biddle - When borrowing books at Biddle take the material to the circulation desk. Tell the circulation staff which journal you are on. The staff will check to make sure you have borrowing privileges for that journal. Record books being sign out to your journal in the appropriate section of the white Journal Sign-Out binder on the circulation desk. Please use the appropriate journal section. Remember: items signed out for your comment are to be put on your personal ID cards, NOT the journal cards.
Van Pelt - You will need your ID card to access Van Pelt and other campus libraries. Before signing out materials at Van Pelt or other campus libraries, please tell the staff member at the circulation desk which journal you on on. This is important so the material is not checked out to you individually. If you realize it was signed out to your personally ask them to sign the book in and sign it out again to the journal. This re-assigning of responsibility can only happen with the actual material in-hand. If you have any problems signing out materials to the journal, please contact your research editor. Remember: items signed out for your comment are to be put on your personal ID cards, NOT the journal cards.
Drexel (Hagerty Library) - You will need your ID card to access Drexel's library. Tell the staff member at the Drexel circulation desk that the book is being signed out for a specific journal. Remember: items signed out for your comment are to be put on your personal ID cards, NOT the journal cards.
Most items in Biddle circulate to journal offices. The following exceptions do not circulate without special permission (see Merle for permission or let your editor know it is in one of these following categories and ask that they contact me):
If the location in LOLA reads as Biddle or Lewis, there will be very few exceptions. Please note that some books in Lewis are in fragile condition because of their age and may not circulate. If a book is in fragile condition we will ask that your Research Editor use the scanner in the computer room.
