TO PRESERVE
THE LIBRARY ENVIRONMENT
We
have established the following guidelines for conduct in the library. We hope to preserve the library as a place
for study and research. Be aware of the
general Student Code of Conduct in your SCCC handbook.
1.
Please be considerate of your fellow
library patrons, and refrain from loud talking, profane language, loud laughter,
and other disruptive behavior. Abusive, intimidating, or threatening language
or behavior towards anyone in the library is unacceptable. Patrons who persist in disruptive behavior will be asked to leave the library.
2. Silence all electronic devices and hold all
conversations outside of the library.
3.
No food is permitted in the library. Drinks are allowed in covered containers.
4. We encourage patrons to use the bistro tables
on the 2nd floor and the sofas on the 1st and 3rd
floors for socializing, cell phone use, and eating.
5.
Headphones must be used when using CD players, iPods, or audio programs at
workstations or on laptops. The sound
must be set at a volume that is not audible to other library patrons.
6. Quiet Study rooms are available for group work
and can be reserved at Circulation.
7.
The rear of the library is a Quiet Study
area. No talking is permitted.
8. Library laptops and the iLab (to your left as
you enter the library) are available for word processing, email, and Internet
searching. All other workstations
are for research-related activities (using the online catalog and databases).
Patrons can check out library laptops (for use in the library) at Circulation, and they are welcome to use their
personal laptops in the library.
9.
Patrons may not alter computer settings,
hardware, or software, and they may not download screen savers. Please refer to
the Student Computer Use Integrity
policy in your SCCC handbook.
10.
Please do not leave belongings unattended in the library. The library staff
cannot be responsible for these items.
11. Furniture (chairs, sofas, and tables) cannot
be moved from one section of the library to another because this blocks traffic
within the library. Please do not sit on tables or put your feet on the
furniture.
12.
Children are allowed in the library, but
they cannot be left unattended.
