Reference Collection Titles retrieved from Temporary Storage are in-library use only. Unfortunately, Location section will not tell you which titles are in Reference Collection. If you suspect it from the keyword such as 目録, 辞書, 事典, etc. in title, add "eax,ref" to your search query. If you still see the title, it means that it is a reference collection title.

Folio and Oversize Material Collection in Skyroom doesn't circulate, either. Please use them in Butler Library.
