This policy was developed in response to concerns from students and faculty about the increased noise in the Library due to cell phone use. When you enter the Library please turn off your cell phones and do not conduct any cell phone conversations in the Library. Anyone refusing to adhere to this policy will be asked to leave the library. ---------------------------------------- OHSU Library OHSU Library Policy on Cell Phone and Pager Use <http://www.ohsu.edu/library/cellphone.shtml> The OHSU Library is committed to providing an environment that is comfortable but conducive to study. Noise from the use of cell phones and pagers is disruptive to a study environment. Therefore, the use of these devices in open study areas of the library is prohibited. If you must be on call and are using a cell phone or pager, set the device to a non-audible signal. If you are responding to a call or page, proceed to the lobby outside the Library entrance or to the paging phone corridors on the west end of each floor. Conversations should be kept brief and conform to HIPAA privacy standards. Library users wishing to report inappropriate cell phone use can contact a library staff member at one of the service desks. The Library reserves the right to ask anyone to leave the Library if he/she is using a cell phone or pager in a prohibited area or disturbing others in any area of the Library. ---------------------------------------- Web Results 1 - 10 of about 665 for "cell phones" and "library policy".
