About the General Reference Department
 The General Reference Department provides reference services on all subjects as well as in-depth reference in the sciences and humanities. General Reference also accepts requests for interlibrary loan materials (items not owned by the library). Librarians also assist with the microfiche catalog, which covers materials collected by the library before 1974, as well as the many online catalogs and electronic databases.
