What should a user generally do with a reference work that is designated for in-library use?
Answer
Consult it in the library and leave it there
Explanation
### Why this is right
Reference and closed-access materials generally remain in the library so they are available to other users.
### The concept
Borrowing rules distinguish materials that may circulate from materials restricted to in-library use. Users should follow the local borrowing process and return materials when due.
### The other options
- **Take it home without recording the loan**: This bypasses borrowing procedures and can amount to unauthorized removal.
- **Remove its pages for personal study**: This damages library property.
- **Give it to another user to keep**: Users do not have authority to transfer ownership of library materials.
### Remember
If a resource is marked for in-library use, consult it there.
