The Warren Hunting Smith Library, maintained by the Hobart and William Smith Colleges (HWS), is for use by members of the HWS Colleges’ community. The Library has developed policies that reflect the Colleges’ fundamental commitments to intellectual freedom and unfettered inquiry. These policies grant members of the HWS community equitable access to the Library’s resources. Borrowers accept responsibility for the care of library resources and for their prompt return. Members of the public with scholarly needs have in‐house access to the Libraryʹs collections. In addition, the Library will extend borrowing privileges to scholars outside of the HWS community at the discretion of the College librarian.
