Statement of Policy & Text
|
|
|
Customers are responsible for their personal items when visiting the library. The library is not responsible for personal items left in the library by customers.
The King Library has a centralized Lost and Found depository at the Ground Floor Information Desk.
Items of value from the Library Lost and Found depository are delivered daily to the University Police Department Office and become the responsibility of the SJSU Central Lost and Found Depository.
On a weekly basis, other lost and found items are collected from the Library Lost and Found by Library Security staff and discarded.
|
|
Need for the Policy
|
|
|
SJPL and SJSU have their own policies to accommodate the safeguarding and availability of items lost or turned in to their libraries. Since it would be awkward for both policies to be applied in the King Library, the King Library must establish a single, separate policy.
|
|
Requirements & Guidelines
|
|
|
- Customers whose items have been turned in to the Library and who can satisfactorily identify their items may claim their items from this depository.
- When items of value are turned in to the Library Lost and Found, Ground Floor Information Desk staff will notify Library Security.
- Not all items will be kept for one week. One day each week, non-valuable items remaining in the Library Lost and Found depository are collected and discarded, even if the items were turned in the previous day or earlier that same morning.
- Library Security does not log or track any Lost and Found items. However, UPD does log and track the items that are delivered to them.
- Neither Library staff nor Library Security staff attempt to contact customers regarding their found property. UPD property clerks will attempt to contact the owners of items delivered to the UPD, if contact information is available.
- Once items are turned over to the UPD Lost and Found Depository, they fall under the rules of that department.
