Masters projects and theses are an important record of the scholarly activities of a university's students. University Assembly Bill 6-13 "Policies on Graduate Study" of 1978 stated that "the written portion of the [masters] project must be filed in the University Library."
As a matter of policy, the UIS Library will respect the privacy of all users, in compliance with federal and state laws and professional standards. The Library will not reveal the identities of individual users or reveal what information sources or services they consult. This policy applies to all resources regardless of format or means of delivery, as well as to all services offered by the Library.
Brookens Library provides lockers for the convenience of students who need a place to store books and other material. All currently registered UIS students will be eligible to use a library locker. Lockers will be checked out for the semester. All lockers will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis at the main desk.
Students may apply for locker usage at the Main Desk. They must have a valid iCard to be assigned a locker. Students will be charged a $25 replacement fee should they lose the locker key.
