William Hessel Library Procedures and Guidelines: Standards of Use

WILLIAM HESSEL LIBRARY - STANDARDS OF USE

The William Hessel Library is committed to providing students, employees, and community users with quality service and an educational setting that is conducive to study and research. In our unique instructional learning environment, we offer a facility with appropriate technology, resources, staffing, and a variety of study environments in support of curricular and educational pursuits.  

Personal Conduct

The William Hessel Library staff asks that users conduct themselves in a manner that is respectful of the rights and needs of all library users. Each library user should expect:

• access to technology for the purpose of study or research
• books, newspapers, magazines, and other resource materials that are not damaged
• a litter-free facility
• an environment free of disruptive behavior or harassment
