A current validation sticker on their student ID or letter of authorization from their college or university library is required in order to borrow materials.  Students who wish to borrow books during the summer must also present a copy of their class registration form; borrowing privileges will be granted until one week prior to the ending date of the course.

Group Study Room Use

Eight (8) group study rooms are located on the Library’s CR (upper) level. Only users with a valid UMDNJ I.D. may reserve these rooms at the Circulation Desk. Group study rooms are available for use by UMDNJ faculty, staff and students only. Two or more people must occupy a study room. The rooms will be locked thirty minutes before the library closes. You will be asked to vacate the room at that time. In order to keep the study rooms clean, housekeeping staff will enter at about 9:00pm. We are sorry for the disturbance, but the cleaning schedule allows for little flexibility.

Food and Drink

There is no eating or drinking (with the exception of bottled water) allowed in the Smith Library.

Shelving

Please do not re-shelve library materials. Users should place books and journals no longer in use on carts or tables. Library staff will pick them up and re-shelve them in their proper places.

Smoking

UMDNJ is a smoke-free environment.  Smoking is prohibited in the building.
