Olin Library Classics Carrel Policy

Eligibility

  • Currently registered Cornell University graduate students who have received permission through the Classics Department Office, 120 Goldwin Smith Hall, 607-255-7471

Assignments

  • Classics Carrel assignments are made per availability
  • Students will receive an email notification when the carrel assignment is ready
  • There is a one-time, non-refundable, non-transferable fee of $ 15.00 for a Classics Carrel in Olin Library
  • New Assignments must be picked up in 116 Olin Library during regular business hours (Mon-Thurs 8:30am-4:30pm and Fri 8:30am-3:30pm). Students have one week to pick up their assignment.

Students with existing Olin Library Open Carrel and/or Olin Library Locker assignments:

  • Circulation staff must move all library checked items to the new locked carrel. THE CARREL HOLDER CANNOT MOVE THE CHECKED LIBRARY MATERIALS THEMSELVES - THIS MUST BE DONE BY LIBRARY STAFF - NO EXCEPTIONS!
  • Carrel holders must move any personal items to the new locked carrel once the key is picked up
  • Students should move items from their locker to the locked carrel, but SHOULD NOT RETURN THE LOCK to 116 Olin - the lock must be on the locker at all times. (If, for any reason, a student would like to keep their locker, they must notify the Circulation staff as soon as possible)

Renewals

  • Renewal reminders are delivered to carrel holders by email prior to the start of each semester. 
  • Classics Carrels may be renewed online using the same renewal form as the Olin Library Open Carrels - they are the only “locked” carrels that do not require an in-person renewal

Clearing a Carrel

  • Keys for Olin Library Classics Carrels must be returned to 116 Olin Library upon clearing the carrel
  • Graduate students who are no longer registered must clear their Classics Carrel. All library books are sent back to the stacks and any personal items found at the carrel are taken to 116 Olin Library’s Lost and Found
  • Classics Carrels that are not renewed will be cleared. All library books are sent back to the stacks and any personal items found at the carrel are taken to 116 Olin Library’s Lost and Found

Replacement Keys

  • Request a replacement key in 116 Olin Library or via email to:   okcarrels@cornell.edu  
  • A $30.00 one-time, non-refundable, non-transferable fee will be required when the key is picked up in 116 Olin Library

Maintaining the Carrel

  • NOT ALLOWED: smoking, eating, cell phone use, group study, leaving valuables in plain view
  • ALLOWED: drinks with approved lids, books from any library, personal books and other items
  • See charging materials to Olin Library Locked Carrels for more details

 

Please be advised that there is no policy barring other patrons from sitting at your carrel when you are not there. For the protection of your materials, when not using your carrel, please secure your items and keep the desktop and windowsill area in order and free of loose papers. We cannot guarantee the safety of items left in carrels.
