The Libraries adhere to and publish various policies and guidelines, which guide internal and external work. Those policies and guidelines deemed of interest to a broader audience are included here. We welcome any questions, comments, or requests for clarification.
Borrowing
Anyone may use materials housed in the Haverford Libraries. However, to borrow books you must have either a valid College I.D. from Bryn Mawr, Haverford or Swarthmore or a courtesy borrower card from Haverford.
Collection Development
Haverford College builds its collections of information resources in cooperation with Bryn Mawr College and Swarthmore College, as part of the Tri-College Consortium.
Harmful Descriptive Language
Haverford College Libraries aim to create descriptions that are inclusive and respectful to those who are represented in and use our collections.
Copyright
Copyright can be complex, and as a result complying with copyright can be daunting at times. The Libraries have created a Copyright Resource Guide as an aid in navigating common academic issues and situations.
Exhibits
The Haverford College Libraries invites students, faculty, staff, and other members of the Haverford community to propose and produce exhibitions in the library that support the teaching, learning, and research goals of the College.
