The University Library comprises not only the General Library, but also a large number of departmental libraries, seventeen on the campus, five in other parts of the state. They are under the control of the departments, who set the hours and conditions of their use, and therefore applicants for their books should go direct to them. They are for the most part made up of books purchased on departmental budgets, supplemented in some cases by deposits from the General Library. All books are purchased through the General Library and in the case of campus departments they are all included in the main catalogue with an indication of the department in which they will be found in the place of the usual call number. For those departments outside of Berkeley only such books as cannot be found on the campus are included in the public catalogue, but a shelf list of all books in each library is in the Catalogue Room.
