Prevent students
  from defacing pages of the books with pencil, pen, or highlighters.
 
  It is noisy and
  rowdy at times and that includes the so-called silent areas especially the
  rooms.
  We say: Defaced books is a universal library problem. If anyone is caught defacing a print item from Learning  Resources they will be charged the replacement cost of that item. The problem is catching someone doing  it. We need categorical proof before we can take action.
 
Learning Resources has Silent floors at Luton and Bedford . These floors are monitored electronically so  
if noise gets to the red light alert staff will attend and diffuse any noise the electronic monitoring is  
backed up by staff patrols. If anyone is making a noise in the Silent area they will get one verbal warning.  
If they are caught making a noise again they will be issued with a Written Warning and fall into the  
3 strike regime of sanctions in Learning Resources. They will also be asked to move to a different floor.
