Why would a recently published popular title be stored off campus and need to be used at the Hay?
In 1997 St. Martin’s Press agreed to transfer their archives – thousands of publications and book and author files – to the Library. In addition to receiving the complete inventory of St. Martin’s Press publications dating back to the founding of the press in 1952, the Library receives a copy of every new St. Martin’s Press title as it is published. Many of these titles are popular works which would normally be out of scope for a research library collection. Because the John Hay Library has been at capacity for some time now, these materials are housed in an offsite storage facility. We are happy to retrieve these materials for you but, being part of a special collection, they do not circulate. A circulating copy may be requested by submitting an easyBorrow request. Although interlibrary loans are usually not accepted if Brown owns an item, an exception is made in the case of St. Martin’s Press materials.
