UST and ELS students:

UST and ELS students must have either current UST ID or current ELS ID to be allowed access to the Doherty Library.  

Visitors (not UST or ELS students) must present 2 forms of ID:

• A government issued photo ID (State ID, Passport, or military ID)
  

and one of the following:

• Current university alumni ID
• Current photo ID’s from another university
• Current TexShare card
• Current Friends of the Doherty Library card 

  All ID's must meet the following criteria:

1.      Current – this means they must have dates on them to prove that they are not expired

2.       Valid – only the kinds of ID’s listed above are considered valid forms of ID for entry to the library

3.       Photo – they must have a photo of the person presenting the ID.

Guest scholars (visiting professors, etc.) and school groups are welcome and should see the library Director, or librarian for more information.

Guest scholars will need a letter from a UST faculty member/administrator that asks us to grant access to a guest.  The letter needs to state what the specific research will be and how long the guest needs to use the library.  An e-mail is sufficient, but a letter is preferred.

Family members related to UST students can be admitted to the Doherty Library whenever they are accompanied by the UST student, faculty or staff member.  For family members visiting the Doherty Library, a photo ID is recommended, although not required.

Creating a disturbance of any kind, (including, but not limited to, loud noise, loud talking, vandalism, carrying a weapon, smoking, inappropriate behavior, viewing pornography or sexually explicit material) will result, at minimum, in your removal from the library.

Viewing pornography and sexually explicit materials is prohibited for all users.  Failure to abide by this policy will result in your removal from the library and may result in being banned from the library.

The library computers are not intended for non-scholarly uses such as computer games, music videos, and excessive e-mail and chat and you may be asked to cease these activities.  Refusal to abide by this policy may result in your removal from the library, and will result in the intervention of Campus Security as appropriate.

The computers in the library basement computer lab are restricted to University of St. Thomas students, faculty and staff use only.
