Lockers in the Quiet Study Area

We are pleased to announce the availability of twenty-four lockers in the Quiet Study Area of the IRC-Library starting in November 2008. The purchase and installation of the lockers stems from requests, especially from graduate students, for a secure place within the library to store their personal belongings when they are on campus for a full day.

Keys to the lockers are available from the circulation desk. They will be lent for a maximal period of one day (not overnight) using your Campus Card. All personal belongings must be removed and keys must be returned before the library closes on the day which the key was borrowed.

Please let us know what you think by commenting below or sending us an e-mail.
