responsible for loss or damage of locker contents.

will result in immediate termination of locker use and future ineligibility for
long-term lockers.

MSU Library material stored in a locker must
be checked out. Any non-checked out or non-circulating material (i.e.,
reference books, current journals, microfilm) will be removed from the locker
and reshelved.
Absolutely no food or
drink is to be left or stored in a locker at any time. Any such substance
found in a locker will be discarded.
Illegal
substances/material may not be stored in lockers. Such items will be
confiscated and, if appropriate, turned over to the MSU Department of Police
and Public Safety.
If, upon regular
inspection, a locker appears to be consistently unused or used for nonacademic
storage, locker eligibility may be revoked.
