University Library Posting Policy
All posting of content, including but not limited to signs, table tents, posters, flyers, donation boxes, and solicitation materials, within the University Library system must be authorized by the Library. The University Librarian or their designee authorizes all signs in general areas, such as doors and hallways. These signs must be directly related to library functions.
Individual library units are responsible for the authorization of postings within their units and on bulletin boards managed by their units, which may include content not directly related to library functions. Public distribution of content is only allowed in designated spaces with the approval of the unit.
Designated Bulletin Board or Other Designated Space Guidelines
Designated bulletin boards or other designated space may include content posted by students, student groups, or official campus units following unit approval. The Library reserves the right to remove any materials that do not follow our guidelines:
- Materials may be posted for up to two weeks.
- No commercial materials or advertisements.
- No personal advertisements, rental, or sale signs are permitted.
- No posts that violate the Library’s Patron Conduct Policy.
- Posts should be inclusive and accessible, and provide equitable opportunities for our diverse community.
- Content that is no longer relevant or expired should be promptly removed.
Postings of content that do not comply with this policy are to be removed immediately. If postings are of an offensive or derogatory nature or attack individuals, they are to be brought to the attention of the University Librarian so they can be reported to the Campus.
For more information on campus guidelines, please see the Expressive Activity on Campus Policy (FO-82).
