Guests Using the Beeghly Library
Guests of the college and the public are welcome
to use the library and the expertise of the staff. There
are certain guidelines we have established in order to make
use of the library fair to everyone including the primary
constituency, which are Juniata students and faculty and
the college community. Reading the guidelines below is a
way for everyone to start off with a clear understanding
of what they can expect. It is important especially to the
students that the library functions primarily as the undergraduate
college library they expect when they decide to attend Juniata
College.
Use of the library's print and microfilm resources including newspapers,
circulating books, periodicals, reference books, and the microfilm Daily
News is welcome to the public provided that the use is commensurate with
reasonable guest behavior.
Electronic resources requiring a log-in are available to
the public for scholarly use only, and by necessity access
is limited according to licensing arrangements, Patriot
Act considerations, and computer demand. Access is
available when a reference librarian is on duty and only
after the librarian ensures the above limitations aren't
in violation.
Anyone purchasing a Friends of the Library card may check
out books from the regular circulating collection.
Videos, DVD's, Reserve Room materials and the Curriculum
Library may be used only by those with gold Juniata College
ID cards with no exceptions as these materials are essentially
for classroom use.
Access to Archives and Special Collections is normally by
appointment only. Please see the Director's Office with
any questions.
The behavior of guests and also the college community is
expected to be such that it does not detract in any way
from the use of the library by others. Any offensive behavior
will be quickly investigated.
