The W.W. Hagerty Library Policy regarding the use of cellular telephones attempts to strike a balance between the maintenance of a library environment conducive to research and study on the one hand while, on the other, accommodating the increasing ubiquity of cellular telephones on campus. Common sense and courtesy is the order of the day. Owners of cellular telephones will be expected to turn telephone ringers off, or turn them down to their lowest level while in the library. If cell phone use is required, users will be expected to move to a location away from fellow students so conversations will not disturb others.
Loud conversation is both unnecessary and unacceptable.
Extensive cell phone conversation while in the library is discouraged. Several areas in the library are entirely off limits to cellular telephone use. These areas are clearly identified. Failure to comply may result in loss of library privileges and the implementation of a more stringent telephone use policy. This site is maintained by the Systems Department of Hagerty Library.
