Library Security Policies

Security Gate Procedure

• Library patrons are called back to the circulation desk when the security gate sounds.
• Library patrons are asked if they have materials from the library that are not checked out.
• If Andersen Library-owned materials are found on the patron or in the patron's belongings that are not checked out or non-circulating, a security report is completed.
• The security report is given to the Circulation Coordinator, copied, and sent to Student Life Assistant Dean.
• Student Life office personnel contacts the patron, discusses the incident, and decides if further action is necessary.
