Policies

Collection Development

Information on how the library develops its collections of resources.

Food and Drink

Food and drink are allowed in the study areas on all three floors of the library. Food is not allowed in the computer areas or the computer lab. Drinks with a cover are allowed everywhere.

Gifts

The library accepts gifts of money, books, and non-print materials that will enhance the Library's collection and support curriculum, research, and clinical needs of our students, faculty, and staff. See our Gifts Policy for details.

Lost and Found

The library holds lost and found items at the Circulation desk. If you lose something please contact us right away. After a couple of weeks we offer the item for free or discard it.

Quiet Policy

The library encourages group study on the first floor of the library. The second and third floors are reserved as quiet areas so that everyone may have access to a place to study with minimal distractions.

Cell phones are a necessary device for emergency calling. Please step outside the library to take everyday calls. Do not use the emergency doors in the back of the library as they will activate the fire alarm if opened.

Security

The library has an alarmed gate at the Circulation desk, near the entrance. It is situated so that all patrons must pass through it when entering and exiting the library. If you should activate the alarm when you pass through the gate, please stop at the Circulation desk so that the person on duty may determine why the alarm sounded.
