  • Keep the number of books to a minimum. Five (5) titles or less is advisable.

Check the number of available copies of a book when assigning required reading. When may students are assigned to the reading of a book of limited copies, this encourages vandalism and theft.

  • Notify the library in advance when giving library assignments to give enough time for the librarians to prepare adequate resources.
  • Encourage students to consult periodicals, general references, etc. but first place on reserve.  Failure to do this results in the loss and mutilation of valuable journals and reference books.
