The basement houses the book and score stacks, listening carrels, an audio/video viewing room, assigned study carrels, and an entrance to the Archive of Recorded Sound. The basement is accessible by stairs or elevator.

Restrooms, a drinking fountain, and a public telephone are located just outside the library entrance.

A microfilm/fiche reader/printer is located in the Reading Room alcove. It accepts Stanford CardPlan and vending cards only (not bills or coins).

Vending cards for the photocopier, computer printer, and microform reader/printer can be purchased at Meyer Library and other campus locations.

Computers

Three of the computers require a Stanford University Network ID (SUNeT ID) to log on, for full access to all SULAIR electronic resources; two terminals are available for public use, and have access to most SULAIR resources.

A networked printer on the first floor serves all five computer terminals. It accepts Stanford CardPlan and vending cards only; copies are 10¢/page.
