University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Library. Humanities Reference Dept.

The Library's Reference Department was established in 1924 to handle three major functions: (1) inter-library loans, (2) access to and use of the non-circulating reference collection, and (3) preparation of bibliographies on sources. During the 1957-1958 academic year the department's name was changed to Humanities Division. As a result of the 1975-1976 administrative reorganization of the Library, the name was revised to Humanities Reference Department. Effective 1 January 1993, the Humanities Reference Department and the Business Administration and Social Sciences Reference Department merged to form a single department, again named the Reference Department.
