Welcome to LSU Libraries

LSU Library books are considered lost if they are not returned or renewed within 40 days after the due date. Lost book charges consist of a $70 item replacement fee, a non-refundable service charge of $30.00, and any accrued overdue fines (usually $20 max). If you would like to report a book lost, please do so using the Lost Materials Form below. If you report a book lost before the due date, no overdue fines will accrue, and the service charge will be reduced to $25. You will still be responsible for the cost of item replacement.

We have many helpful resources for those researching art-related topics and assignments. We recommend that you contact the subject librarian for Art & Design, Marty Miller (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/about/staff/Marty-Miller) , for assistance due to the complexity involved in searching art databases. In the meantime, however, feel free to check out the guides (https://guides.lib.lsu.edu/prf.php?account_id=20548) she has put together for various art-related courses and topics. There, you will see the option to schedule an appointment with her. Answered by: Electronic Resources

A collection is an interview, and as such, it is assigned a specific collection number, such as 4700.1234. There can be several recordings (indicated by a unique Tape #) within one collection if the person was interviewed on more than one occasion by the same interviewer.

There are various types of restrictions to collections that will be listed in the catalog record. The most common restriction is the one triggered by incomplete paperwork and this restriction often limits the interview to on-site access-only and limited duplication. Other restrictions are set forth by the interviewer or the interviewee and are handled on a case-by-case basis. Answered by: Jennifer Cramer
