How can we use print reference materials and Special Collections materials housed in Linderman?

Transition FAQ Sept. 04 -- Linderman Unbound, Transforming L...
Many humanities reference materials are already available electronically. The new "MyLibrary" tab on the Lehigh portal, implemented in August 2004, streamlines access to electronic resources of all kinds and clusters them strategically by discipline. A small group of print reference materials will be moved to Fairchild Martindale Library temporarily. For enhanced safety and security, Special Collections materials will be moved out of Linderman Library during the renovation.

What are reference materials?

GSCC Libraries FAQ
Reference materials include dictionaries, encyclopedias, almanacs, periodical indexes, atlases, and college catalogs or schedules. Many specialized reference works and bibliographies are also considered to be for reference use. They are not usually items that you would want to read from cover to cover. These materials allow you to locate required information fairly quickly, read and take notes, or make photocopies for later use.

Why does AccuStandard use ampules for most of their Organic Reference Materials?

Frequently Asked Questions
Like most Organic Chemical Reference Material manufacturers, AccuStandard uses ampules. There are many positive reasons for using ampules. One of the most important is that once sealed, they provide a long term, air tight and relatively inert environment that protects the product for long term storage. Ampules preserve the concentration of the analytes since neither the analytes nor the solvent can escape.

Do you use reference materials, or is it all in your head?

Blue Moon Atelier - Frequently Asked Questions
I do use references a lot. They're invaluable when you're trying to depict a certain pose, or achieve a certain perspective. Cheating? In what way? I suppose if I copied a reference photo pixel by pixel it would be. No, I wouldn't consider an artist's general use of reference cheating. Reference can be a stock photo, or a live model; the idea is that the item is a reference, not the end result.
