Reference staff meetings are held at times when the majority of staff who participate in reference service may attend. Meetings are scheduled during regular work hours. It may be possible, once circulation staff are alerted to your absence, to refile microforms and reshelve government documents, to check the stacks for books or journal issues reported as missing, or to shelf read a section of the general stacks. When you see food exposed on table tops, in carrells, or in binder bins. If the student is absent, please provide circulation staff with the carrell number so the student can be notified.
Loud conversation intrudes into a quiet study environment.
Please remind students and colleagues to speak softly in the library. While the MacDonald Room has been designated a quiet study area, all sections of the library should be made conducive to study. Unattended purses, wallets, watches, and other valuables tempt those persons with a larcenous bent. Please leave a note alerting the patron to our security concerns. Damage caused by water leaks, vandalism, and other factors, should be reported to the Assistant Vice-President's secretary who will then notify Physical Plant.
