*LRC Access & Study Room Reservations

• The LRC is open to everyone during our Public Building Hours, no advanced reservations are required.
• Patrons feeling sick or unwell should not visit the LRC and should access virtual LRC services from home.
• A face mask is recommended but not required in the LRC, consistent with USD policy.
• Patrons must treat all library staff and other patrons in a courteous and respectful manner consistent with USD’s Core Values.
• Anyone not adhering to these guidelines will receive a warning. Any law student who still does not adhere to the guidelines after the first warning will be reported to the Law School’s Office of Law Student Affairs and may lose library access privileges, including in some cases being banned from the physical premises for the remainder of the semester. USD students from outside the law school who do not adhere to these guidelines will be reported to the Division of Student Affairs and can be subjected to the same penalties.

The LRC is pleased to offer 24/7 access to the study areas in the first floor information services area this fall.  All USD students, faculty, and staff may use this study area at any time. At 8 p.m. (6 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays), the LRC’s Circulation Desk will shut down, and anyone in the library will need to exit to the first floor information services area. At that time, the atrium doors leading to the rest of the library will be locked, and entry to the LRC will require a valid campus ID card. Books that are housed in the 1st floor information services area (including study aids) may be checked out after hours using a self-service kiosk. Books that are housed elsewhere in the library can be requested via the catalog for pick up the next day. The computer lab, printers, and a single-user restroom located outside PLRC 113 will also be available for students to use 24/7.

 The 1st floor information services area will be monitored by Campus Public Safety remotely by security camera. Please help us maintain a safe and secure environment by not propping open doors. Call Public Safety if you see any suspicious activity or have any safety concerns.
