Announcements or Signs in or on Libraries
It is the policy of the UM Libraries to permit groups recognized by the University of Maryland Administration or Student Government Association (SGA) to post activity announcements on specified bulletin boards. The bulletin boards are located in the vestibule of each facility or close to the entrance to each library. The Public Services Office (Room 4119 McKeldin Library) will review announcements from outside the University of Maryland community on a case-by-case basis. The Libraries reserve the right to remove any publication that does not meet these criteria.
The bulletin boards will be cleared weekly and only announcements for future events will remain. Multiple copies of posters or announcements will be removed.
Posting of non-library announcements or other items on vestibule doors or within the interior of the libraries is not permitted, except library hours and emergency announcements related to operation of the Libraries and approved by the Public Services Office. Announcements or other items such as signs or banners may not be posted elsewhere in or on the Libraries. If they are, library staff will remove them.
This memo will be permanently posted on bulletin boards so individuals can be aware of these guidelines.
Public Services, Facilities, and Housekeeping staff will work together to keep the areas in front of the library facilities neat.
Library staff wanting to post items publicizing library activities - depending on the location/s they want to post items -- can get questions answered by the Public Services Office, Facilities, the heads of branch libraries, the head of Information and Research Services for McKeldin, and in Hornbake the heads of Marylandia and Rare Books, Nonprint Media Services or Archives and Manuscripts.
