Arabella in the Serials Department recently alerted me to an incident of periodicals that were allowed to leave the Main Library, so here is a reminder about policy.
To ensure the availability of college and LIS resources, periodicals should not leave the Libraries.
They are library-use-only and may not be used outside the Library security gates.
This means that they cannot be used in the Great Hall at MBH, in the Rehearsal’s Cafe at the CFA or in the Cafe at the Main Library.
Please pay attention to all gate alarms. Periodicals should not be allowed outside the security gates.
The libraries have really nice places to sit and browse through journals and magazines, and users are more than welcome to bring in refreshments from the café (or elsewhere) to add to their enjoyment. Please explain to patrons that periodicals STAY IN THE LIBRARY so that everyone can have access to a valuable resource.
Many thanks for your attention to this policy.
Best,
Elin
