Study Carrels
Students and faculty are given preference for the use of the study carrels. Visitors may use empty carrels when available. The study carrels may be reserved only by faculty and MA candidates.
Any student or faculty member who wishes to leave items on a carrel overnight must check them out at the circulation desk and place a note on the carrel requesting that the books not be reshelved. Books left on the study carrels without a note will be reshelved.
If a librarian finds personal books left on the study carrels, they will be held behind the circulation desk for a period of 7 days before being placed on the book sale shelf.
