The Maps Collection provides the principal map reference service for the campus library system. It also provides research and teaching assistance for cartographic resources as well as instruction in the use of these materials.

Circulation
The Maps Collection's primary mission is to provide reference and research assistance, supporting teaching and research at the University through use of cartographic resources. Many of the materials in the Collection may be checked out.   Considerations restricting circulation include format, size, reference and research needs, and preservation. North Carolina materials, except USGS topographic quadrangles, generally do not circulate. Loan periods range from two hours to one week with renewal possible. All materials are subject to immediate recall. Eligible borrowers include UNC-Chapel Hill faculty, staff and students, TRLN and other UNC campus students, faculty and staff, and those with a valid UNC-Chapel Hill library borrower's card. See Borrower's Cards for more information.

Copying Services
Copying services formerly provided by Imaging and Photographic Services are no longer available. To acquire copies of materials in the Maps Collection, please consult with the Maps Staff.

Interlibrary Borrowing
The Maps Collection accepts requests from other libraries through the Library's Interlibrary Borrowing department. Not all materials in the Maps Collection are available for borrowing through Interlibrary Loan. Materials borrowed are restricted to use in the requesting library. Format considerations frequently necessitate filling requests with photocopies. Reference or research assistance can be provided for requested materials that do not circulate.
