Library policies must be observed by all users to assure availability of materials for everyone and to ensure efficient service. Users should become familiar with these policies. If you have any questions please contact Maureen Eggert, Associate Director for Research Services or Marian Parker, Associate Dean for Information Services and Directory of the Director.

Any violations of library policies, rules or regulations
should be reported immediately to the Director of the library.

Beverages are allowed only in approved containers which must have tops that can be sealed.  Generally, containers from fast food and coffee restaurants do not qualify as approved.

Carrels Usage. Carrels designated "MBA carrels" are reserved for the exclusive use of Babcock Graduate School of Management students. Law student carrels are assigned to law students for each academic year and are designated with the student's name and the carrel number. Carrels for public usage are available on all four floors of the library.

• Any person desiring to use any law carrel may do so at any time provided the carrel is unoccupied.  Assigned carrels that are temporarily vacant may be used until the owner returns.  
• Library materials and personal items are not to be left in unassigned carrels for an extended period of time.
• Library staff will remove of all materials from carrels that are not properly checked out to the carrel occupant on a recurring basis.
• The library policy concerning food, beverages, and tobacco also applies to carrels.
• The library will not be responsible for any personal property left in any of the carrels.  Please report any theft or vandalism of personal property to the Circulation Desk immediately upon discovery.
• No disruptive posters, signs or other items are to be glued, taped or otherwise attached, to any carrel surface.  Any items so posted will be removed.  We suggest the use of post-it notes and removable poster-tape to display any personal effects.
• If light bulbs in carrels need to be replaced, please notify the Circulation Desk.
• Assigned carrels must be cleared at the end of spring semester exams. Any items left in the carrels will be turned in to Lost-and-Found.
• Students should not exchange carrels without written notice to the library Director.
• Disregard for these policies may result in loss of carrel privileges.

The willful or reckless destruction, damage, mutilation or theft of any library materials, computers, equipment, carrels, shelving, carpet, walls, furniture or any other library property is considered an Honor Code violation or possibly a crime, and will be treated as such.

Food and tobacco products are not allowed in the library.

Library Access after hours is strictly prohibited.  At closing, all users are to exit the library through the main entrance.  Fire alarm doors should be used only in emergency situations.  Staff work areas, such as that behind the Circulation Desk, are off-limits to users.
