Sec. 701.5  The Library's reading rooms and public use thereof.

    (a) All members of the public wishing to use materials from the 
Library's collections first must obtain a User Card. The Library will 
issue User Cards, in accordance with established access regulations, to 
those persons who present a valid photo identification card containing 
their name and current address. The Library-issued User Card will 
include the name, digitized photograph, and signature of the user. It 
must be presented when requesting materials housed in the book stacks or 
other non-public areas or upon request of a Library staff member. In 
accordance with Library regulations which prescribe the conditions of 
reader registration and use of Library materials, presentation of a User 
Card may be required for entry into certain reading rooms. The Library 
will maintain the information found on the User Cards, including the 
digitized photograph and other pertinent information, in an automated 
file for collections security purposes. Access to the automated file 
shall be limited to only those Library staff whose official duties 
require access. The automated file shall be physically separated and 
accessible only from inside the Library.
    (b) Materials in the general classified collections of the Library 
are serviced in the Main and Local History and Genealogy reading rooms 
(Thomas Jefferson Building), and the Science and

Recorded Sound Reference Center (James Madison Memorial Building). 
Reference and bibliographic assistance is provided by the staff on duty 
in the reading rooms, to the extent necessary to supplement the reader's 
prior use of library resources elsewhere and/or to facilitate use of the 
Library's collections.
