Policy on Promotional Activities in the University of Chicago Library
As long as they do not violate University policies, events or causes may be publicized in these designated areas:
- Regenstein: bulletin boards are located in the entryway to the bookstacks on floors 2-5, near the elevators on the A Level, and in Ex Libris
- Crerar: bulletin boards are located in the Lower Level copy room and in the Lower Level lounge area
- Social Work: a bulletin board is located in the glass-walled entrance
Use thumbtacks or easily removable adhesive tape to post signs to the bulletin boards.
Posting or distributing material in areas other than designated bulletin boards is prohibited.
Only one posting per event or cause is allowed on each designated bulletin board.
Items posted on these bulletin boards may be removed without notice.
Any postings that violate University or Library policies will be removed.
