User Services/Reference Area Computer Use
Effective February 2, 2009, the policy regarding the use of the computers on the Reference Floor have changed. Please
view the new policy.
Cell Phone Use in the Laupus Library
Policy: Use of cell phones in open areas of the library should be kept to a minimum. While in open areas of the library, such as the reference floor, cell phone ringers should be turned to a level where they cannot be heard by others, and conversations should be brief and respectful of others.
Rationale: To reduce noise interruptions, protect the confidentiality of personal and professional communications and maintain an atmosphere conducive to research.
Food and Drink
Policy: Laupus Library allows the consumption of snack food and non-alcoholic beverages under prescribed conditions. Drinks must be in spill-proof containers. Foods such as chips, nuts, pretzels, and cookies are considered snack foods; sandwiches, pizza, burgers, salads, etc are not. Trash should be disposed of properly and spills should be reported to library staff immediately. Eating and drinking are not permitted in History Collections and patrons should exercise caution near computers, printers, photocopiers, or other electrical equipment. The delivery of food to the library for library users is prohibited. If patrons fail to follow this policy and its limitations, they will be asked to conform or leave the library.
Rationale: The purpose of this policy is to control pests such as insects and rodents and to protect library materials, computing equipment, furniture and floor coverings from damage caused by spilled food and drinks.
Collection Development
Policy: Because of the policy's length, we have not displayed the full contents. Instead, you may
