Access Services: Lockers

Library Lockers: The library has lockers available on the 2^nd and 3^rd floors for UMass Chan students to store educational materials. The lockers circulate for a semester at a time and are distributed by checking out a key at the Library Service Point desk at the start of each semester.

All SOM, GSN, and GSBS students are eligible for the lockers.

Keys MUST be returned at the end of the loan period. Please be considerate of your peers and return your key on time!

• Only lock Library materials in your locker if they are checked out to you.  Please return materials on or before their due date.

• You are responsible for keeping your locker clean and free of trash.

At the end of the semester anything left in the lockers will be collected and thrown away. The Library assumes no responsibility for items that are damaged or stolen from the lockers.
