I haven't been there recently, but I found that if you wrote to them 
ahead of time and were very specific about what you wanted, they were 
extremely helpful and lifted most restrictions. I was even allowed to 
go into their back offices to use the light table to trace watermarks 
(an unheard of accomodation for a junior scholar, seems to me).

But I doubt I would have gotten any of that help if I had just walked 
in off the street and started requesting materials.
