In the last library survey many students commented on the use of cell phones in the library. Because of this the library has implemented the following policy. What do you think of this issue?
In response to student concerns about noise in the library, we require all patrons to place their cell phones on silent or vibrate mode, and to conduct their conversations outside the library. Please take your belongings with you if you leave your study space. You may also leave belongings at a staffed service point while you are gone.
Cell phone use in Foley Center is limited to the Atrium outside the main doors of the library, the 24 Hour Study Lounge, and the Group Study Rooms (when no one in the group objects). Text messaging is acceptable in the library, as long as it does not cause a disturbance.
