The Library does not give out any information to anyone about any library patron, student, member of the staff, etc. This includes, but is not limited to, the following kinds of information:

1. We do not give anyone any information from our patron database or the Student Directory (no addresses, phone numbers, employers, etc.). Refer any questions to the Registrar (328-6014).

2. We never give out any information as to who has a book checked out, or who might have checked it out in the past. Everyone's right to privacy must be respected. When a patron wants a book or other material that is checked out to another patron, it is our job to get it back, if that should prove to be necessary. In general, we never ask someone to bring a book back (recall) before it is due, unless it is for a course reserve.

3. All Library staff, including student assistants, treat all conversations, transactions and events relating to the library as confidential.

To view the entire policy on personal information, please see the Director of Library Resources, Library Resource Center, room 110.

Refer any questions about the interpretation of this policy to the Director of Library Resources.
