Library Etiquette

We want our library spaces to feel inclusive, welcoming and considerate of all members of our university community. We ask you to make yourself aware of the Student Code of Conduct and observe the following when you are in the library:

• Please make sure you understand what can be borrowed and for how long and return items on time, especially if other members of the library have recalled them. We only charge fines on overdue recalled items, or for replacements of lost or damaged items

• You may bring hot and cold drinks into the library if they are covered

• You may bring snacks and cold food into the library but not hot food

• Please put used food and drink containers into the recycling or waste bins provided

• Please do not bring alcohol into the library, study areas or rooms

• You may smoke or vape only in the designated areas outside our university buildings

• Please keep your mobile on silent when you are in the library. If you need to take a call, go to the stairwell or outside the library

• If you are working in a silent study area, please remember to stay silent

• Library users are welcome to make a short visit to the library accompanied by their children under the age of 16 for the purposes of making an enquiry, borrowing/dropping off a book, or similar task. Parents and carers must keep continual and close supervision of their child (the child should be at their side throughout the visit.)

• Personal belongings should not be left unattended

•To comply with the University's copyright license when photocopying and printing in the library, please ensure that you observe and follow the CLA Higher Education Licence guidelines provided on the posters next to the Multifunction Devices (MFD).
