UW Faculty and Student Access to East Asia Library Auxiliary Stacks in Kane Hall
UW faculty and students are welcome to browse the stacks during East Asia Library Kane Hall Auxiliary Stacks scheduled hours.
Location: The entrance to the Kane Hall stacks is from the By George level of the Odegaard Undergraduate Library building.
Procedures:
We will continue to provide twice-daily retrieval from the Kane Stacks to the East Asia Library, as we have been doing for several years. This new browsing access is not intended to replace the retrieval service.
Background Information and Guidelines for Use: Because the Kane space was not designed as a public stacks area, the compact shelving is very tall and very long. Ladders and step-stools are necessary to reach the top two shelves. Also, the movable ranges are easily damaged.
There will be a limit of two library users at any one time in the Kane Stacks, due to staffing and facilities constraints.
There is no public reading area in the Kane Stacks. You will need to check out the material you want and take it to your office or read it in one of the libraries such as East Asia or OUGL. OUGL has a copy center if you want to make copies. The items you check out may be returned to the East Asia Library desk in Gowen or to any UW library unit (such as OUGL, Suzzallo, etc.).
Special exceptions for access to the Kane Hall stacks may be made for non-UW faculty and graduate students from other institutions. Ask the staff at the Circulation Desk.
If you have questions, please contact the East Asia Library Circulation Desk staff in person or by telephone at 543-4490, or e-mail us at ealcirc@lib.washington.edu.
Thank you!
Zhijia Shen
Director, East Asia Library
