To use library services they MUST obtain a student ID from Judy Teng's office before they can use our services. Remember they are underage and will need a signed parental release form before the get the ID. The Circulation staff will then apply a barcode on the back.
This entitles the students to:
*borrow 2 items (use of RBR if their instructor has put materials on reserve);
*use the 4th floor computers, the Media Ctr., Language Ctr., computer lab in R521 and the computer lib in the LAC (approved by N. Rosenthal), but NOT tutoring services.
Since they MUST have their ID cards to use our services, they can not take advantage of our grace period for regular students or have a one-time-only use of the 4th floor reference area computers.

Do not put them into the garbage. Instead, bring them to the Ocean Campus, Cloud Hall- Rm. 143. Place them on the pallet located near the door, either in a box or some form of wrap.
