Access Services Information

EVENING ACCESS

All access to Reese Library after 10:00 PM is restricted to students, faculty, and staff of Augusta University, and all users are required to have their JagCard on their person after this time. Identification checks will be made, and those without a valid JagCard will be asked to leave. The Augusta University Student Manual requires all students to possess their JagCards at all times on campus and to present said cards to any university official who requests to inspect it.

 

FOOD AND DRINK

Patrons are responsible for any food or drink they consume in the library. Patrons are expected to be considerate of other visitors and library materials.

Best Practices: Beverages in approved, spill-resistant containers with securely fastened lids are allowed in Reese Library except by computers, in the Reese Room, Special Collections, or in the Reese Library Instruction Room. Approved beverage containers include reusable cups with sealable lids, sport bottles, screw top bottles, straw-equipped bottles, aluminum cans, concession coffee cups with lids in place, and juice boxes. Unapproved beverage containers include Styrofoam, paper, or plastic cups without lids, and uncapped bottles.

No food or drink is permitted in the Reese Room, the Greenblatt Room, in Special Collections, the Historical Collections and Archives area, or in the Reese Library Instruction room.

Spills should be reported immediately to the Information Desk (1st floor) so they can be cleaned up quickly to avoid permanent damage. Users are liable for any damage to library property and equipment caused by food or beverages.

Laptop computers are available for checkout by Augusta University students with a valid JagCard at the IT information desk.
