Disruptive behavior hurts everybody

In our continuing efforts to meet the needs of our students, the Mardigian Library recently added two mobile white boards for group study use on the second floor of the library. Within the first two weeks of use, the boards have been used inappropriately, damaged by individuals ripping marker holder trays from the boards, an eraser was destroyed, erasable markers have disappeared, and one board has been damaged by the use of non-erasable markers.

We would like to continue to offer tools like the white boards for student use; however, we will not be able to do so if they continue to suffer damages such as this. We ask you to partner with us in order to continue to make your library a conducive place for study.

The library encourages students to immediately report any disruptive behavior to library staff in order to stop malicious destruction of property and other disruptive behaviors. You can do so anonymously either by filling out the form on our website at http://library.umd.umich.edu/info/comments/disruptions.html or sending an e-mail or text message to librarynoise@umd.umich.edu. You can also call the circulation desk at (313) 593-5559, come down to the first floor and report the behavior to library circulation staff, or call Public Safety at (313) 593-5333.

Library Website Memories!

The Mardigian Library hosted its first website in 1996. Were you one of the site's creators? Did you wonder if websites were just a fad? By 2000, the library launched a new and improved website for the campus. Do you remember using this one? Any memories of 2006 redesign?
