Community Agreement

Library & Learning Resources Community Agreement

Library & Learning Resources Policy

 

This community agreement pertains to the entire Library & Learning Resources and has been developed in partnership with ASO (Associated Student Organization).

 

Community Norms

In the Library & Learning Resources, members of the ECC community can expect to feel welcomed and undisturbed. Children and parents are welcome to co-study in the Library & Learning Resources. If something is impeding your use of our space, please ask your library staff for support. To align with ECC campus policy (BP/AP 5500), ECC staff’s directions should be followed at all times. The policies below detail how the ECC community can keep the Library & Learning Resources comfortable, clean, and respectful of everyone.

 

Food & Beverages

“If it's neat, you can eat.”

  • Covered beverages and contained snacks are permitted throughout the library. 
  • Food should not be eaten in a few areas to protect equipment:
    • Makerspace
    • Roney Technology Center
    • VR/AR Room
  • All areas should be left completely clean to maintain a sanitary study environment for all ECC students. Trash should be placed in the appropriate containers, and spills should be wiped up. If you spill and need paper towel, please see a staff member and they will provide you with some.
  • To have food in DE 166 at an event, please seek permission from the Library and Learning Resources Division Office.


Noise

Noise levels should always be at a respectful volume that is considerate of others throughout the entire building. Your noise level should match the area you are occupying.

  • Headphones should be used when listening to any audio, and at a volume only audible to yourself while not disturbing others.
  • In Group study areas, conversation is permitted. Group study areas include the Collaboration Room, the Research Center, the Study Center, the Music Commons, and the Tutoring Center.
  • Quiet areas include the West Reading Room and the upstairs Quiet Commons.

 

 

Smoking and Vaping

Smoking and vaping are prohibited in the library and on campus.

 

 

Use of Library Public Spaces

Permission to Film/Photograph in Library Facilities

For all photo and film shoots (i.e. student projects), specific permission from Library Administration is required in advance in order to protect students’ privacy. If library staff have not been notified, you will be asked to provide evidence of permission to photograph or film is required in advance.

 

 

Digital Sign Guidelines

The purpose of the digital signs is to promote the Library & Learning Resources’ services, collections, priorities, and activities and El Camino College activities to the El Camino community. If you would like to request a slide to be displayed, contact library@elcamino.edu. The Library reserves the right to not post signs based on messaging priorities, subject matter, format, design quality, time constraints, or other reasons. Please give us as much advance notice as possible.
