Policy and Procedures for Scheduling Library Resource Center Display Cases

The three display cases located on the main floor of the LRC are available for scheduled use. When scheduling conflicts occur, priority will be given to requests on the following basis:

First priority: Murphy Library oriented materials, topics, and/or events in which the LRC is a participant.
Second priority: University departments and units
Third priority: Recognized student organizations

Content of the display should be of general interest to the university community. When a question of appropriateness is raised, the topic will be referred to the Library Advisory Council for recommended action. The library reserves the right to deny requests.

Exhibitors are responsible for placing the materials in the cases and removing them at the designated time. The library is not responsible for the security of materials. The library has raised lettering available for the display signage.

Request forms are available on this page or at the Administrative Offices, Room 111. The request form should be returned to the office at least one month prior to the display date.
