Fine Arts Library Study Carrel Policies
To apply for a Fine Arts Library study carrel, visit the Fine Arts Library circulation desk.
The Fine Arts Library offers carrels to graduate students in Art History, Architectural History, Architectural Design, Planning, and Drama.
Assignments are made for one academic year, beginning August 15. Carrels are assigned in the order in which your application is received. Carrel holders last year have first preference.
Due to space limitations, more than one person may be assigned to each carrel.
Carrel Policies
- All books kept in carrels must be checked out to you and have carrel slips in them or they will be removed from the carrel.
- Do not store more books in your carrel than it will reasonably hold without damaging the books.
- Items sustaining damage from abuse or overcrowding will be removed and your carrel privileges revoked.
- Folios, reference, and other non-circulating items may not be stored in carrels.
- Electrical outlets are available in carrels 1-26 (some lettered carrels are near pillars on which there are outlets and most lettered carrels can reach an outlet with an extension cord).
Shelving Policies
There are a limited number of shelves to be assigned to graduate students for the books they wish to keep at the Fine Arts Library. They will be assigned as follows:
- One shelf to one graduate student.
- The number of books on the shelf will neatly line up to fill the shelf. No stacking will be allowed; any books not fitting on the shelf should be taken home.
- Each book on the shelf must have a carrel slip and be checked out to the user of the shelf.
- The shelf must be maintained neatly and must not hold anything that might spill onto the shelves below.
Please contact April Baker with questions about the Fine Arts Library carrels and shelves.
