Quiet Policy, including Use of Cell Phones, Pagers, and Similar Electronic Devices 


Title: Quiet Policy, including Use of Cell Phones, Pagers, and Similar Electronic Devices
Category: Public
Source: Library Management Team
Date: March 26, 2002

Rationale

The library is primarily committed to providing easy access to information and an atmosphere conducive to study and research. Noise of any sort detracts from the atmosphere that encourages study and research.

The Policy

Appropriate use of cell phones, pages, and similar electronic devices as well as any other noise, such as loud conversations, should be governed by common sense and courtesy to others using the library to study.

Cell phones, pagers, and similar electronic devices must be set at silent ring only in the library. Cell phone conversations should be limited to the snack lounge on the first floor or the stairwells.

The third floor of the library is designated as a "super quiet" floor.

A group study room with a networked computer is available and should be used for group meetings and projects. Tables on the first floor may also be used for group projects.
