Stewart Library's primary mission is to support the library needs of Weber State University students, faculty and staff. WSU students, faculty and staff have priority in the use of library resources, services, and facilities. Community patrons using Federal Depository Library Program materials have the same priority as WSU patrons. Community users are welcome to use library resources not needed by students, faculty or staff as long as they follow library use policies. Anyone using library resources, services and facilities must comply with the following guidelines:
Respect other people. Examples of disrespectful behavior include, but are not limited to:
-
Loud, rowdy or threatening behavior directed at others or yourself
-
Viewing disturbing images on public workstations (for example: pornography or graphic violence)
-
Audible sound from computers, headphones, etc.
-
Approaching others without an invitation
-
Odor (for example: body odor, strong perfume or aftershave)
