Visitor Library Access & Computer Use Policy
Our primary mission is to serve the students, faculty and staff of the university but we also welcome members of the community to use our facilities and resources. We ask that our guests follow these guidelines during your visit.
Visitor Behavior Rules & Regulations
We ask that you do not engage in disruptive behavior while visiting our library. To preserve an environment where we can best serve all of our patrons:
- No talking on cell phones while inside the library.
- Do not sleep at study carrels, tables or computer workstations.
- Do not make inappropriate comments or use inappropriate language.
- No playing music that others can hear.

To uphold our charge but also accommodate our guests, the following guidelines are strictly enforced at all times:

- Picture identification must be presented to gain access to a computer.
- When using a computer, you must provide picture identification upon request.
- We reserve the right to excuse an individual from a computer workstation.
- Each guest computer session is limited to 1 hour. Additional time may be granted if no one is waiting to use a computer and you have not exceeded your individual daily time limit.
- You are limited to a maximum of three 1 hour guest computer sessions per day. Multiple sessions are not guaranteed if there is high demand.
- For their safety, no unattended children are allowed in the library.
- Due to federal and state law, anyone under 18 must have parental supervision while using our computers.
