The Visitor Center and tours have moved to 295 Galvez, at the corner of Galvez and Campus Drive. It's diagonally across from the Arrillaga Alumni Center.

The Visitor Center is accessible by Stanford’s free Marguerite Line B shuttle. Visitors can take the Marguerite Line B Clockwise from the Palo Alto Transit Center to the Alumni Center stop at 326 Galvez Street. From campus, take the Marguerite Line B Counter-Clockwise to the stop in front of the Visitor Center. All Marguerite buses are wheelchair accessible and are equipped with bicycle racks.

Visitor parking is available at the Visitor Center Lot [L-95] off Galvez Street, between Campus Drive and Nelson Road. Pay machines accept credit cards, cash, and coins (exact amount recommended -- pay machines do not provide change). For event parking assistance, send an email to parkingoperations@stanford.edu.

If you need assistance with alternative transportation to the Visitor Center or to Stanford for events or commutes, send an email to commuteclub@stanford.edu.

Students:
Students can pay for photocopying and printing through the StanfordCardPlan. Students who do not sign up for the StanfordCardPlan, or who have exceeded the StanfordCardPlan limit, can pay for printing by using the Visitor procedures described below. Students CANNOT add money to their Stanford ID cards via the Cash-to-Card machines.

Faculty and Staff:

Visitors:
Visitors can buy a Print/Copy Card for $1, and then add money to their Card using the Cash-to-Card machines listed below. These machines accept $1, $5, $10 and $20 dollar bills and function as a kind of reverse ATM.

Cost:
Printing is $.10 per page.
Photocopies are $.13 per page ($.15 per page at coin-operated photocopiers).

Cash-to-Card machines:

• Tresidder Computer Cluster
• Green Library
• Meyer
• Lane Library
• Mathematical & Statistics Library *
• Swain Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Library *

As of 24 February 2010, there is no longer a Cash-to-Card machine at the Graduate School of Business' Jackson Library.

First, make sure you are looking in the right library. On the catalog record, you will see a Library, and then a location, or call number. You have to go to the library where the book is unless the library is SAL. If it is SAL, there is a link on the catalog record to request the item. After you fill out the request form, you will receive an email when the book is available for you.

Next, make sure you are in the right section of the stacks. If the book is at Green Library, check the Library Stack Guide for the stack location. Next, be familiar with the Library of Congress Call number system. This page explains how books are ordered on the shelves by call number. Make sure you first search for the books with all the letters in the first part of the call number. Next, be sure to search for the whole number following the initial letters. You will notice that the books around the one you are searching for are about very similar topics.

If you know you are in the right place and the book isn't on the shelf, ask a reference librarian if they can help you find the book. Especially at the end of each quarter, there is a backlog of books waiting to be re-shelved. The book you want may be in the reshelving area. A librarian may be able to help direct you to the reshelving area, where you can search for your book.

If you have gone through all these steps and still can't find the book, fill out a search request form (it is a paper form, not online), and library staff will notify you if they find it.

"In transit" means that the book has been sent from one library to another library, and hasn't arrived at the sent location. This probably means that it has been returned to a different branch library, and is being returned to its home library (in this case, the Mathematics and Statistics Library), but it could mean that it is on its way to another location for repair, or relocation. You should contact the Math & Statistics Library for details on this book's status.

There is a photocopier on the first floor of Meyer Library which is open 24 hours. Meyer Library has a floor plan online, and the Meyer Library First Floor floor plan shows a photocopier next to the Cash-to-Card machine.

A list of libraries on campus (with their descriptions) can be found here. There's a PDF of the Stanford University Libraries Map available at the top of the page.

There are two Epson Perfection 1680 auto-document-feeder (ADF) scanners on the second floor of Meyer Library, inside the Multimedia Studio (MMS). These machines require a SUNet ID.

There is also an Epson GT-2500 scanner in the Swain Chemistry Library (SUNet ID required). This machine at Swain Library supports double-sided scanning.

It's best to contact Special Collections and University Archives via their How To Request Materials page. They maintain their own internal database for Honors Theses.

There are several rooms and resource centers in the Bing Wing in the library with full wireless access and desks that have outlets for your laptops. Almost every seat in the Bing Wing provides outlets in tabletops and side tables (next to soft seating). In the East Wing on the first floor (Information Center) tables with individual ports at each seat circle the perimeter of the room. Readers with laptop computers can access catalogs, databases, and other electronic resources, including the Internet, from wherever they happen to be working in the library.

The Raubitschek Room, named in honor of the late professor emeritus Antony E. Raubitschek, is located in Room 351, Green Library East. It brings together the primary texts of Greek and Latin epigraphy and papyrology, together with the necessary secondary and reference literature.
The Medieval Studies Room also in Room 351, contains a non-circulating collection of medieval studies texts.
The Raubitschek Collection/Medieval Reading Room is located on the 3rd floor of Green East, two right turns off the main stairs, past the rest rooms.
