We have a research center, but we don't charge for access to it. We do
charge $15 an hour for assisted research after the first half hour. We
rarely use the fee since most requests can be handled quickly by our taking
out the appropriate files and books for the researcher. If we do collect
funds, it goes towards maintaining the collections.



Hope this helps,

Erica

I'm posting this question for a colleague:

"Do any of you charge the general public for access to your reading room or
research library?  If so, how much and is that fee applied towards something
specific at your institution?"

Thank you.
