When this appears in the HOLLIS catalog, do I have to go to the Judaica Library?
"Consult Judaica Division" refers to special collections items held in the Judaica Collection that do not circulate outside the library. You can request to use them in the Widener Reading Room on Widener's first floor level.
You do not need to go up to the Judaica Division on the third floor of Widener (Room M) in order to request or make use of these resources. These materials should be request-able via HOLLIS.
Whenever possible, these materials are available in the Widener Reading Room by noon the next business day (2nd business day for requests placed weekdays after 5pm or on weekends). *
