Library Research Carrels are individual units with a work surface and a small lockable storage area for books and papers. Electrical and data outlets are available for the use of individually owned computers. Research Carrels are for the use of graduate students engaged in research projects where access to the Library collections and services would be of significant benefit.

At the beginning of each semester, notice will be sent from the library to graduate students enrolled in research courses. Students who wish to be assigned a research carrel will complete the application and submit it to the library for carrel assignment. Thereafter, other graduate students requiring use of a research carrel will be considered for assignment.

Library Graduate Research Carrels will be assigned for a specific period of time, not more than one semester. Students may apply for renewal of their carrel assignment.

Library materials placed in the locking bin of the carrel must be properly checked out in order for them to remain there. The carrel will be checked regularly by Library staff members and materials not properly checked out will be removed. Materials that do not circulate, e.g. periodicals and reference materials, cannot be left in the carrel.

Although the binder bin of the research carrel can be locked, the Library cannot assume responsibility for damage or loss of any items left in the area. The carrels are open to the public, so access to the work surface will be possible.

1. All Library materials in the carrel must be checked out or they will be removed and reshelved.
2. Library materials which are not checked out may not be left in the carrel.
3. Carrels may not be used by someone other than the person(s) assigned
4. Foods, beverages, and smoking are not permitted in the carrel.
5. The carrel may only be used during the hours that the Library is open.
6. Students using the carrels will not be paged for phone calls or messages.
7. Carrels may not be used for consultations.
8. Students should not leave any personal items unsecured in the carrel.
9. Failure of students to conform to research carrel regulations may result in cancellation of the assignment.

I agree to adhere to the regulations concerning the use of Library Graduate Research Carrels.
