Frequently Asked Questions about NRD


What the heck are all those people doing over there?

How do I get what I want?

Everything in NRD has to be checked out before it leaves the department. To check something out, just grab one of the white slips sitting on the front desk and fill it out. If you're taking something from a folder (ie a picture from the photo file), don't take the folder. Even if you're taking everything out of the folder, leave the folder. (The folders are the only way we know that we have information on a certain topic. If the folder is missing, then we think we don't have a file on that particular subject. Trust us, this is bad.) When you return something, just stick it in the wire basket next to the check-out slips on the front desk. Everything must be returned by the end of the day. Please don't keep anything out overnight. If you've got any questions about any of this, ask the resident check-out guru Jean.
