Library staff go to Princeton University’s Firestone Library twice per week. These trips usually occur on Tuesdays and Fridays, weather permitting. If a trip is postponed or cancelled for any reason, an email will be sent to everyone who made a request for that trip. In the rare event that the schedule has to be adjusted for holidays or other planned disruptions, a message will appear here informing you.
We offer three services:
- A short term loan service (we bring books back for you for a one month loan),
- placing books on hold in Firestone Library for you to pick up for longer use, and
- scanning (within copyright limits).
We will have to follow the limit of six books each trip and six scans when there are a large volume of requests or are oversized. Requests take time for processing when held in Recap by Princeton University Library.
Larger multi-volume requests may have to be placed in the Institute room for you to use.
If you have any questions, please contact the staff at:
Thank you.

Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy/reproduction is not to be "used for any purposes other than private study, scholarship, or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes "in excess" of fair use, that user may be liable for copyright infringement. This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.
