See the pages linked in this section for policies governing conduct, animals, and photography in library buildings, as well as guidelines for counsel and researchers seeking discovery from the Libraries, workplace and sponsored conference conduct, the Libraries' statement on patron privacy for database access, and the Libraries' open metadata policy.
