Libraries Information Literacy and Instructional Services Policies for Non-Affiliated Users |
Non-Affiliated users of the Florida Atlantic University Library include community residents, public and private school students, corporate and business personnel and other professional individuals. Students and faculty from other colleges not included in the affiliate list are also included in this group.
| Services Provided to Non-Affiliated Users |
| Orientations |
Professors, teachers and media specialists are encouraged to schedule library orientations with Instructional Services. Librarians will plan an orientation based on each group's specific needs. The following rules apply to non-affiliated group orientations:
- All orientations must be arranged at least two weeks in advance of the scheduled library visit.
Teachers should provide copies of any class assignments at least one week prior to the scheduled orientation. The maximum size for a group tour is 30. For a group of minors at least one chaperone is required for every ten students. Priority will be given to FAU students, faculty and staff in the use of all library resources and services. Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated; consequently, individuals may be asked to leave.
| Workshops |
Priority will be given to FAU students, faculty and staff, but non-affiliated users are welcome to attend when space is available.
| Reference Consultations |
Reference Consultations for non-affiliated users are only offered when extended reference services cannot be accommodated at the Reference Desk. Consultations for non-affiliated users may be discontinued if they interfere with the librarian's regular library duties or disrupt the library's flow of operations. Requesters must complete a Reference Consultation Request Form available online or at the reference desk. Requesters will be contacted by phone or email to arrange a consultation.
Questions regarding public service policies should be directed to Dawn Smith, Assistant Director of Public Services.
