Need for the Policy
The SJSU Library must keep its One Washington Square address with extended zip to enable the U.S. Post Office to pre-sort its mail from other mail before it is delivered to the King Library. This allows the SJSU campus Purchasing and Receiving departments to:
  • Retain the tracking and record keeping processes currently in use at the University.
  • Ensure that SJSU is able to track any item back to when it first appeared on campus.
  • Maintain the current campus charge-back billing processes in use based on the campus extended zip codes.
The SJPL and its branches must continue to receive their mail directly from the U.S. Postal Service for billing purposes.
