Quiet study areas

Background

The Haas Library has a need to designate what we consider quiet study areas, places where individual students should reasonably expect to read/write/study quietly without groups study noise and interruption.

Examples:

1. The following is a link to a sign - I like this one! 
2. Colorado State University library has the following info posted... I like this one! "We sympathize with your concerns about noise in the Library's Quiet Areas. Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to patrol the building for noise offenders. Quiet areas in the library include the"... they name the areas designated
3. Baylor University Library - I like this one ! Libraries today are dynamic places. They also serve as places of retreat and reflection. The Baylor Central Libaries attempt to balance these needs by designating several "Quiet Study" areas. If you need a quiet place to study, try one of these options: ... they name the areas designated
4. Indiana University Library - Good idea Quiet Zone Policy The bottom (first) floor of the Library is reserved for Quiet Study. If you are doing work which requires conversation, please go to another area of the Library so that those desiring a quiet environment for their study may use this floor.
5. Texas A&M University Library In order to ensure a pleasant and productive place for study and research for all our users, the West Campus Library has designated Quiet Study Areas. Signs posted on doorways designate these areas. ...they name the areas designated
6. City College of Technology 
7. Company selling images depicting quiet 
8. UCLA library comments/policy statement - perhaps taking this issue to our University Senate. If the university community is having as much trouble with the issue of conversational noise and cell phones, including teaching faculty, the library may be able to gain institutional support to pass a resolution similar to the UCLA policy stated below. I have searched the Student Code of Conduct and found no reference to noise disruption. UCLA Policy on Cell Phones and Pagers: Any disruption of a class due to the audible beeping or use of cell phones or pagers will be treated as a violation of Section 102.13 of the UCLA Student Conduct Code and will subject a student to sanctions up to and including suspension or dismissal. Cell phones and pagers must be turned off while in classes, libraries, or other quiet areas.
