Preferred Method of Requesting Depends on requesting library's time frame; if needed quickly and it's map or air photo, requests may be made directly by map-library staff to Tom Brittnacher.  Otherwise, requests can go through ILL.
Lending Policies Only other UC/Stanford map library staff may request materials directly from UCSB map collection, and ONLY maps and paper or cut frame negative air photos may be requested; all book-format material must be requested through regular ILL. Air photo roll film does not circulate.  UCSB Library does not have the means to make digital copies of maps.  Air photo digital copies can be downloaded if they already exist or a scanning request can be implemented (for a fee) through FrameFinder.
Description of Collection 5.3M items, including 2.6M air photos, .250,000 maps (mostly geologic, topographic and nautical)
