               ASSIGNMENT OF LIBRARY FACULTY STUDIES
   
   I.   REFERENCES:
   
        Minutes of Meeting, Faculty Legislature, May 22, 1980.
   
   II.  POLICY:
   
        The Library assigns faculty studies for library-centered research
        projects to qualified teaching faculty on a first come basis. The
        initial assignment is for one quarter with the possibility of three
        successive renewals. In order to assure equitable opportunity for
        assignment of faculty studies to all eligible persons, the following
        principles must be considered:
   
        A.   Purpose: Library studies are assigned for research needs and
             are not to be used as offices or conference/meeting sites.
        
        B.   Eligibility: Only faculty members are eligible for assignment.
             The study is solely for the use of the assigned faculty
             member(s) and may not be secondarily reassigned to ineligible
             persons.
        
        C.   Reassignment: Upon reapplication each quarter, supported by
             evidence of sustained usage and continuing need, the Library
             may reassign a study for not more than three successive
             quarters, including Summer Quarter.
        
        D.   Leaves of Absence: A faculty member on leave during an
             assignment may continue to occupy the study if he or she
             remains in the area; faculty on leave to other universities or
             who have gone abroad relinquish their studies for the duration
             of their absence.
        
        E.   Waiting List: When there is a waiting list, the person who has
             been assigned the study the longest will be asked to vacate.
             The person vacating may reapply for the next available study by
             placing his/her name on the waiting list.
        
        F.   Appeal to the Senate Library Committee: Persons asked to
             relinquish studies may appeal to the Senate Library Committee
             for an extension; however, the Library Administration will make
             the final decision.
        
        G.   Location of Assigned Studies: Insofar as possible, the Library
             assigns studies convenient to the library materials being used
             by the faculty member, or in accordance with the wishes of the
             faculty member.
        
        H.   Sharing of Studies: Two persons may be assigned to the same
             study by mutual agreement.
        
        I.   Removal of Uncharged Library Materials: Periodically, Library
             staff will check each study and materials not charged out will
             be returned to Library shelves.
        
        J.   Food and Drink: Prohibition of food and drink in the Library
             facility also applies to faculty studies.
        
        K.   Responsibility: Occupants are responsible for the security of
             Library materials held in the study and for the keys. The
             Library assumes no responsibility for personal property in
             faculty studies.
