Second highest priority is given to patrons searching for course-related information. Medium priority is given to patrons searching for information with an educational or research benefit indirectly related to coursework.

Patrons may use library computers for e-mail if no one needs to use those computers for searching or word processing purposes. Users must sign in at the Reference or Periodicals desks or in the Computer Lab for a 15-minute time period. Terminals may be used for longer periods is no one else wishes to use them. Patrons who do not sign in to use the computers will automatically be given lowest priority of use, and will be asked to leave before patrons who have signed in.
