Miscellaneous:

• Closing procedures. For security purposes, floors two through five and the ground floor close fifteen minutes before the posted closing time. Announcements are made over the public address system when the library is preparing to close. At 15 minutes before closing, patrons with materials to check out are requested to come to the Circulation Desk.
• Photocopiers are located in the Reference Area on the first floor, on the ground floor next to the elevators, and in the southeast corner of the second floor. The library's copying machines accept one and five dollar bills. Those wishing to use a copy card may purchase one at the dispensing machines in the Reference Area Copier Room or the northeast corner of the second floor (the card itself costs 50 cents). Copies are 10 cents each (cash) or 8 cents each when using a copy card.
• Emergency procedures. Alarm bells, flashing lights, and announcements over the public address system will alert patrons to a fire or other emergency. Patrons on floors other than the first should use the stairs to make their way to the exit-- do not use the elevators. Patrons with a disability on floors other than the first should go to the area in front of the elevators and use the phone next to the elevators to alert the campus security office of their location (the number for security is posted above the phone). In case of a tornado warning, use the north stairs to go to the tunnel connecting the library to Northside Hall.
• No food and no tobacco are allowed in the library. Drinks in closed containers only may be consumed in the library. Use the Snack and Study Lounge next to the tunnel to Northside Hall for complete access to food and drink.
• Student group study rooms are located on the fourth and fifth floors along the south wall. Signs on the windows of these rooms state the number of students needed to occupy a room. Single students or groups smaller than the posted number may be asked to leave a study room to make way for larger groups.

For more information ask at the Reference Desk or call 520-4441.
