Purpose

The library has extremely limited faculty study space. The term "faculty study" refers to one of 36 enclosed spaces that can be locked and in which materials used during intensive library research can be secured. In order to provide equitable use of these facilities, the following policies and procedures have been established.

Policy

Faculty study assignments will be made by the Associate Dean of Libraries in consultation with a committee of faculty members of the University Library Committee.

Assignments will be made upon application of a faculty member who has a specific need to work closely with the library collection for a specific length of time. Assignments will be made for an academic quarter. An academic quarter includes the instructional period and the intersession that follows it. Renewals are possible, following the same procedures for initial applications, as outlined below.

Procedure

Thirty-three studies will be allocated to faculty and three studies will be retained by the Library for discretionary use.

Preceding each Fall quarter, faculty will be notified that applications for studies are being accepted. Applications must be received before the beginning of an academic quarter and will be screened by the Committee. The applications will be processed according to the following schedule:

               Winter
               Spring
    Fall       Summer
    Quarter    Quarters
