Academic Quiet Policy

ACADEMIC QUIET

This library is an academic library designed to enhance student learning, foster faculty research and provide staff resources. Portions of this library may be marked as quiet areas to allow spaces for students, faculty, staff and other patrons to study and work in a silent as area as possible. Not all areas disallow noise, however. This library is also an open access library, which allows some noise to carry. Because of this we ask patrons to stay aware and monitor their noise and activity level in most areas of the library. If a librarian or library staff person determines that the noise or activity level is detrimental to sustaining the academic purpose of the library, they will first request that behavior is modified in order to accommodate the library standard. The second time they will issue a warning and remind the patron that this library does allow dismissal from the premises as necessary. The third time the librarian may request that the patron or patrons leave.

Note: A librarian or library staff person may request University ID at any time. This ID may be used to coordinate with the campus disciplinary system or campus Police Department as necessary.
