Library services

The Library's goal is to serve and support the work of the Museum's scientific staff and scholars in natural history from around the world, as well as interested members of the general public.

Please see below for a menu of Library Services available:

Ask a Question

A Reference Librarian is on duty to assist with research inquiries, use of Library resources and literature searches. Before contacting us, please consult our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page and the Museum's FAQ page.

If our FAQ did not answer your query, click here to submit your question.

Reference Staff will take action and reply, as soon as possible, to all inquiries and messages received from Museum staff. Members of the public should also be advised that due to the high volume of questions we receive, we are only able to respond to select inquiries. Please note that response time for inquiries from the general public is approximately 4 weeks. You may find it helpful to begin your research at your local public, college, or university library; be sure to ask a reference librarian for help finding appropriate resources.

Borrowing & Circulation

Library Registration

Users with a valid Museum-issued Identification Badge may register to use the Library. To register, users must submit a completed Library Privileges Form (this form must be signed by the relevant department or division head). The category of user will determine the level of privileges that the user has:

Borrowing Privileges: patron is allowed access to Main Stacks, Current Literature Room, photocopiers and the scanner. Patron may borrow materials and request interlibrary loans.

Reading Privileges: patron is allowed access to Main Stacks, Current Literature Room, photocopiers and the scanner. No borrowing or interlibrary loan.

Upon submission of the form, users must arrange for an orientation tour of the Library; privileges will be activated only after completion of an orientation session and tour.

Deputy Borrowers

Museum staff with Borrowing Privileges may authorize up to three other users with Borrowing Privileges to pick up materials from the Library and charge them to their account, acting as their deputy. As all borrowers will be alerted via email of any items charged to their account, authorizers will be alerted to any borrowing activity under their name (but we need to verify that this will be possible). Authorizers must complete a separate “Deputy” form for each person they select as deputy.

Circulation of Materials

Only users with Borrowing Privileges may borrow materials from the Library. ALL MATERIALS MUST BE CHARGED OUT AT THE CIRCULATION/REFERENCE DESK BEFORE BEING REMOVED FROM THE LIBRARY AND ALL LIBRARY MATERIALS MUST BE USED IN THE MUSEUM ONLY. NO MATERIAL MAY BE REMOVED FROM MUSEUM PREMISES. Materials from the Rare Book Collections are non-circulating, as are materials in the Special Collections (excluding moving images that are in DVD or VHS format). Reference staff may also restrict the circulation of especially fragile materials. Reference staff will make every effort to accommodate users’ needs for access to and reproduction of fragile items. Reference Staff must approve any exceptions to circulation rules for Library materials.

Losses and Replacement Fines

Library users will be charged a replacement fee for materials that are lost, not returned when recalled, or not returned when the users terminate their association with the Museum (in this last case the Department will be invoiced directly). Library users (or Departments) have the option of paying the standard fine or providing a like-new replacement copy for any lost item and paying a $25 processing fee. The standard fine is the replacement cost plus a $25 processing fee.

Privacy Policy

In accordance with AMNH Library policy, information collected by the Library that identifies the intellectual pursuits of a patron (e.g. library circulation records, interlibrary loan requests, reference questions) will not be disclosed to others, including AMNH staff, except as necessary for enforcement of Library rules (e.g. collection of overdue materials, tracing missing volumes, fulfilling interlibrary loan borrowing requests).

Loan Periods

Recalls

Recalls are sent when a user requests to see an item that is already charged to someone else. Recall notices are sent by email. If the Library does not receive the item after a follow-up phone call to an initial email, the Library will call the department to investigate whether the original borrower is out-of-town so that we can contact another staff member in his/her department to find and return the item.

Staff Library Privileges Application

To qualify for Library privileges (including access to the Main Stacks, Current Literature Room, and Photocopiers) you must have a valid Museum badge.

To apply:

  1. Read the Policies and Procedures For Museum Staff.
  2. Complete the Application for Library Privileges.
  3. Submit the completed application form to the Reference Desk.

Rare Book Collection

Laughing Owl, Sceloglaux albifacies by John G. Keulemans, from Ornithological Miscellany, Vol. 1 by George Dawson Rowley, London,1875. (AMNH image no. 6253)

The Library's Rare Book and Rare Folio collection grew from a need to protect and preserve the Library's research collection.  As the Library grew and more time passed, a sizable number of books could be designated as rare.  These collections now include over 14,000 volumes and continue to be integral part of the Museum's research collection, especially in the study of systematics.  The collection includes field diaries and scrapbooks; richly illustrated, fragile or uniquely bound materials; limited and/or autographed editions; published and unpublished materials with special Museum association; materials of high monetary value; and rare books relevent to natural history, especially in those fields of interest at the Museum.

Viewing Rare Materials

Access to materials in the Rare Book Collection is by appointment only.  The Library's holdings of Rare Materials can be found in the Library Catalog by using a keyword search and limiting by "Location"="rare materials".   To make an appointment to view rare material, please complete our Rare Book Collection Access Form.

Definition of Rare Materials

“Rare Books” are defined as those parts of the Library collection that fit one or more of the following categories:

1) Volumes printed before 1850 in the Americas, and before 1775 in Europe and the other continents (these thresholds of rarity will be periodically advanced).

2) Items including a unique autograph or other unique manuscript elements (marginalia, annotations, etc.). Note that not all books signed by an author or illustrator are necessarily “rare”. Discretion is used in evaluating signed copies. The following criteria are considered:

a. The book itself (or all of the authors’ writings) is of special interest.

b. The book is an association copy, containing a signature, bookplate, or other evidence of ownership by a distinguished person, especially if the book itself or its owner is closely tied to the Museum.

3) Signed presentation copies of books written by a member of the Museum staff (whether on a subject of interest to the Museum or not).

4) Books known to be very scarce or known to be of especially high monetary value.

5) Original bindings of types which are extremely scarce, or which may be associated with known early binders and their shops, or with a particular owner and in general, books with unique or highly distinctive formats.

6) Books less than four inches in height.

7) Volumes with unique graphic elements such as hand-colored plates, significant maps or graphics and portfolios of unbound hand colored prints.

8) Classic or “landmark” books in the field, preferably in their first or definitive editions and subsequent revisions issued under the direct auspices of the author (for example, Darwin’s On the Origin of Species and its various editions) -- modern editions are thus normally excluded; also, first English editions of works originally published in other languages.

9) Limited editions (issued in editions of fewer than 200 copies).

10) Selected curiosa, (as, for example, Edgar Alan Poe’s plagiarized volume on conchology).

Inter-Library Loan Policies

This service is restricted to those with Full Library Privileges needing loans for work-related research.

Materials are loaned to the AMNH Library as a courtesy, and their conditions of use, including due dates, must be respected. Library users who need Inter-Library Loan materials for a longer period than the time allotted should discuss this matter with the Interlibrary Loan Manager. The Inter-Library Loan Manager may be able to renew the loan (in order to extend the due date) or borrow another copy of the item from a different library. Failure to return Inter-Library Loan materials on time jeopardizes the AMNH Library's liaisons with other libraries and could adversely affect other Museum staff needing Inter-Library Loan services. Users who return Inter-Library Loan materials late will be served with a formal warning. Users who subsequently return Inter-Library Loan materials late will lose Inter-Library Loan privileges.

Who may use the inter-library loan service?
If you are on Museum staff and have Full Library Privileges you may submit requests for inter-library loans to obtain materials that are unavailable in the Museum Library.

What kinds of materials may be borrowed via inter-library loan?
Books, journal articles, and microforms, are the most commonly borrowed items. (Libraries generally fill requests for journal articles with photocopies of the article rather than sending the original journal issue.) Other types of media and materials from non-circulating collections cannot usually be borrowed. Most libraries will not loan old, rare, or fragile materials.

May I request items that are missing from the Library's collection?
If an item owned by the Library cannot be found in the collection, you may request that it be obtained via inter-library loan.

Do I have to pay for inter-library loans?
There is no charge for this service, as long as the number of requests submitted is not excessive. Please note that interlibrary loan services are for Museum related research and business only, and not for personal use.

How will I know when the item I requested has arrived?
You will be notified by phone or email when the item arrives. Incoming items may be picked up at the Reference/Circulation Desk during regular Library hours. You will be asked to sign that you have received the item.

How long does it take to receive items through inter-library loan?
Most items take two to four weeks to arrive. Some items are more difficult to obtain and may take longer.

What is the length of the loan period?
Loan periods are established by the lending library and can vary. A typical loan period is three weeks.

Where do I return my loan?
Loans must be returned at the Reference/Circulation Desk. 

For additional information, please call the Inter-Library Loan office at 769-5404 or send an email to loan@amnh.org.

Conservation

The Library has a fully equipped conservation laboratory where the latest preservation technology is used to protect the Library's unique collections. The Library's conservation laboratory began operation in 1989, and expanded into larger quarters in 1993. The laboratory supports a wide range of physical treatment, from box-making to minor repair to full conservation treatment of materials from the Library's collections. Equipment includes a sink with a water filtration system for aqueous treatments, a fume hood for solvent work, an ultrasonic welder, a cast iron board shear, as well as equipment for hand bookbinding.

Activities and Projects

The Conservation Department undertakes a wide range of preservation and conservation activities on an ongoing basis. The most important of these is maintaining a suitable environment for storage of Library materials 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Storage temperature is kept at 68 degrees F. and 40-45% relative humidity for all but the photographic materials, which are kept at 65 degrees F. and 35% RH.

Priority is given to the welfare of the collections as a whole, though individual treatments have not been neglected. The collections have been extensively surveyed in order to gather the information necessary for planning and decision making. Some of the projects which have been undertaken and completed, or which are still ongoing, include creating protective enclosures for fragile or damaged items which cannot be treated immediately (the Conservation Department creates on average over 2,000 enclosures of various kinds per year); repair and/or rebinding; full conservation treatment; aqueous and non-aqueous deacidification; preservation microfilming; facsimile reproduction onto alkaline paper; and polyester encapsulation.

Other activities include training Library and Museum staff in the correct ways to handle, clean, enclose, and shelve materials; consultation with the Acquisitions and Cataloging staff in making decisions concerning reformatting; the implementation of screening procedures to catch individual conservation problems in acquisition, in circulation, and during shelving; and assistance in the mounting of materials for exhibits.

The Library also has a long history of involvement in cooperative and regional activities, including membership in groups and organizations concerned with conservation and preservation, participation in and presentations given at conferences, seminars, and workshops, as well as contribution of articles to publications in the field.

Proper Care of Library Books

Shelving and Handling Books

  • Do not leave books on shelves or carts with the foredge down. This damages the spine and joints.
  • Leave books upright and firmly supported on shelf when shelving or retrieving. Use bookends. (Library staff: If there is not one there, get one.)
  • Do not allow books to protrude over the edges of the shelves. They should be set back about 1." Stack oversize books neatly on bottom shelves. They should not be sticking out over the shelf.
  • Never pull a book off the shelf by the headcap. Pull from the spine with your fingers on the boards. Push remaining books together so that they support each other.
  • Before moving compact shelving ranges, check to make sure aisle is clear.
  • Use red string to tie up books with the following types of damage: broken joints, loose boards, broken sewing, detached or partially detached spine.
  • Do not remove shrink-wrap; bring it to Library reference and technical services staff, who have special knives to do this without damaging the wrapped material.
  • Please handle library materials with clean hands.

Processing and Using Library Materials

  • Do not crack open the spine of a tightly bound book. This kind of damage usually cannot be repaired without extensive intervention.
  • Do not use books or journals as a support for writing; this leaves indentations.
  • If you must place books in a pile, put the largest ones at the bottom; do not stack big books on top of small ones. Do not pile books more than 3 or 4 deep.
  • Never stick post-it notes on library materials; they leave an adhesive residue. Use a plain piece of acid-free paper for notes and place markers instead.
  • Do not attach notes or other items to library materials with paper clips or rubber bands. Paper clips cause dents and tears and become rusty; rubber bands turn sticky and then hard (they also contain sulfur, which can cause chemical damage).
  • Do not attempt to "fix" library materials with tape or glue. Most tapes have adhesives which deteriorate with age and can cause damage. They also form a hard edge along which weak papers will break. Many office-type glues turn hard or brown with age, and are very difficult to remove.
  • Do not use ink or ballpoint pen to mark a book, document, or photograph (exception: pens provided by the Library conservator for specific purposes). If an identifying mark must be made, use a No. 2 pencil and write lightly.
  • Do not use self-adhesive labels on leather covers or on pre-1860 cloth or paper covers, or on highly decorated modern covers. Use an acid-free flag, or consult the conservator for an alternative.
  • Always use acid-free envelopes, boxes, paper, etc. for storage or enclosure of library materials.

Photocopying

  • Follow Library photocopying policy when making copies for yourself or others.
  • Do not photocopy rare books, brittle books or documents, colored plates, fold-out sheets, or books with broken spines or loose pages.
  • Use one of the copiers designed for books when copying bound materials. Copy one page at a time, with the rest of the book supported off the platen with one hand.
  • Do not defeat the purpose of the copier's design by opening the book flat on the glass. Do not press down on the spine of the book when copying.

Preserving Personal Books and Papers

The key to extending the life of your books and papers is not necessarily in repairing them, but in preventing damage from occurring. More than anything else, preservation involves control of storage conditions, plus regularly checking through your collections to make sure no harmful situations have arisen (such as mold or insect infestations). If proper conditions are maintained, books and papers may last several times as long as they would have otherwise.

Storage Conditions to Avoid

  • High humidity. Paper-based materials survive best in low or moderate relative humidity (RH). It also helps to keep the humidity as stable as possible. The AMNH Library keeps its books and documents at about 40-45% RH, but this may not be easy to achieve for a private collection. It is important to try to keep the RH below 65%, as after even a few days of humidity this high in a warm room (70 degrees Fahrenheit or above), mold may develop. Warm, humid conditions also encourage insect infestations. Books and papers should not be stored against outside walls, on damp floors, or anywhere they might be exposed to water. Basements and garages are usually not safe storage places for these materials.

  • Heat. High temperatures can be very harmful to paper, as they hasten its chemical deterioration. Generally speaking, the rate of this deterioration theoretically doubles for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit rise in temperature. The temperature in non-air-conditioned attics and garages in the summer months may well be high enough to damage books and papers.

  • Light. All light (especially sunlight and fluorescent light) is damaging to books and paper; it causes fading and contributes to some chemical deterioration. Typical results of light damage include fading, browning or other discoloration of pictures and documents hung on walls, and fading of book spines. Some materials are more sensitive than others, and will change noticeably in a short time if kept in bright light.

Materials to Avoid

  • Rubber cement. This turns brown after a few years, and stains the paper; as the adhesive ages, it also loses its ability to hold things together.

  • Adhesive tapes. Any self-adhesive tape, such as "Magic Mending" tape or drafting tape may cause serious problems over time. For instance, mended paper which is weak may break along the edge of the tape used to repair a tear. The adhesives used can sink into the paper, staining it, and blurring some writing inks.

  • Rubber bands. These turn sticky, then hard. They will eventually break or worse, stick to whatever they are in contact with.

  • Paper clips. These make dents in paper, and can tear it when removed. They also rust.

  • Vinyl. This type of plastic is chemically unstable, and should be avoided when choosing notebooks, scrapbooks, and photograph albums. Inert plastics such as polyester (Mylar D, or Melinex 516), Polypropylene, and polyethylene are much safer to use.

General Tips

  • Take steps to protect your materials from damage by fire, water, high temperatures and humidity, light, dust and soot, insects and rodents.

  • Use "archival quality" (acid-free, alkaline buffered, or inert) boxes, envelopes, file folders, plastic page protectors, etc. to store your documents. (See list of suppliers.) Keep acidic papers such as newsprint away from other materials.

  • Handle fragile materials carefully. Do not allow books on shelves to lean; once they become warped it is often impossible to return them to their original shape. Do not use books as coasters, doorstops, tables, or flower presses.

  • For those items requiring conservation treatment, consult a qualified conservator. You can find one in your area by calling the Conservation Services Referral System of the Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation, or by writing to the American Institute for Conservation, 1717 K St., N.W., Suite 301, Washington, DC, 20006. Phone: (202)452-9545, Fax: (202)452-9328.

Suppliers of Archival Materials

Below is a list of companies which supply products for archival storage of books, documents, and photographs. This list does not constitute an endorsement of any company by the Museum or the Library. Catalogs are available from all of these suppliers. Not everything in these catalogs should be used on items of permanent value. If in doubt, especially about an adhesive product, consult a conservation professional, who can advise you on appropriate materials for various purposes.
