Statement of Policy & Text
In the King Library, SJSU and SJPL contract separately with any tenant groups through a signed Memorandum of Understanding, which must also be approved by the other institution.
All tenants must:
- Abide by the terms of the Operating Agreement. (see References)
- Agree to an annual review by both institutions.
- Sign an annual renewal agreement. (MOU)
Need for the Policy
Since both SJSU and SJPL have agreements with other groups to use space within their existing libraries, a policy is needed to establish mutual guidelines for creating tenant agreements, even though each library will be responsible for its own separate tenant contracts.
Requirements & Guidelines
For the MOU see References below.
The MOU includes the following elements:
- The costs, which may include any of the following:
- a. Custodial staff
- b. Security
- c. Telephone service
- d. Furniture
