This policy applies to all study rooms, during all open hours. Only current UCSD faculty, students, and staff will be eligible.

To let us know about noise in the library, go to http://biomed.ucsd.edu/ask to send us an IM (Meebo) message, or stop by the desk and tell us.  We want to continue to be known as one of the quietest libraries on campus!

Users are encouraged to test the pilot, called Next-Generation Melvyl, and offer feedback on how well it meets their needs. The UC San Diego version is available at: http://ucsd.worldcat.org.

Please note that there are some records from our catalogs that are not in the new pilot - the complete “old” Melvyl catalog will continue to be available during the pilot for the new system.

The UCSD Biomedical Library has created a website to summarize and clarify the policy, and to make it easier for you to comply.

The Library is also offering 30-minute sessions to review the benefits and requirements of the policy.  The first two are scheduled for April 10 and April 15, 12:15-12:45 PM in the Events Room.  If the class dates and times aren’t convenient, custom sessions can be arranged for individuals or groups.

As a faculty member who requested a custom session recently said:  “Thank you SO MUCH for your presentation yesterday.  It was just what we needed to raise awareness and learn how-to information on getting this new requirement accomplished!”

For more information, contact Nancy Stimson at (858) 534-6321 or nstimson@ucsd.edu.  To sign up for a class, contact Vicky Anderson at (858) 822-4760 or vkanderson@ucsd.edu.
