The materials in the Merritt Room may be used only in the Houghton Library Reading Room. Patrons are asked to submit their requests via HOLLIS Special Request at least two business days in advance of their planned visit. Questions may be referred to the Keeper of the Isham Memorial Library or to Houghton Library staff (houghton_library@harvard.edu). For information on how to transfer items to Houghton Library, please see here: Transferring materials
Photoduplication requests should have their site changed to HOU immediately.
If reference work is involved, MUS and HOU staff can email one another to sort out whose responsibility the request is.
The Keeper of the Isham Memorial Library monitors the Music Library's Aeon queue. When she isn't they are not scheduled to work (presently Wednesdays, Thursdays and Friday afternoon, plus vacations and sick days), it's monitored by Houghton Library staff.
