• Phone and Skype conversations/interviews are not permitted in the Individual Study Rooms. Doing so will result in cancellation of booking and being asked to leave the room.
• If you leave the room, remember to carry the room key with you.
• Study Rooms are to be vacated when the key is returned.
• The Library is not responsible for any personal materials left in the room.
