Closing Policy
WebVoyager and Remote Databases Downtime

Closing procedures begin 15 minutes before the stated closing time; that is, if the Library closes at midnight, closing procedures begin at approximately 11:45 p.m.  At that time, a bell will be rung and the lights flashed once or twice.  This may be done two more times to alert people in the Library of closing.

The front double doors will be locked and the single door opened at 10 minutes before closing.  Anyone coming in should notice that closing procedures are underway and staff may alert them that the Library will be closed within 10 minutes.

Since the clocks in the building usually do not show the same time, the clock over the Reference desk (the side that faces the front door) will be the "official" clock for closing purposes, unless it is not functioning properly and is off by more than 5 minutes; in that case staff may take the time from the computer network or call the local number for the correct time.

Voyager and Remote Databases Downtime
The Online Catalog (WebVoyager) and Remote Access Databases are unavailable 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. due to system maintenance.  Early morning users may be able to access either service before 3 a.m., but we are unable to guarantee this.
