CODES AND CONDUCTS
Being the heart and soul of Zenith University College, the Library holds an important position and should be held in high esteem. It is constituted by Codes and Conducts which patrons must adhere to, to avoid the suspension of their future privileges. As such, it is required of users to respect each other and what the library stands for to make it a better place for serious study, research as well as development. The purpose of these guidelines is to safeguard the common interest of all library users. It is of utmost importance that they are duly regarded. These conducts include:

  1. The ZUC Library represents serenity; a world set aside from the ‘hustling and bustling’ outside its walls and as such, Noise is highly prohibited. We wish to embrace our users with a calmness that is rare and almost inexistent outside and in light of this, we indulge Patrons to desist from noise making when in the library.
  2. To further emphasize our need for quietness it is advisable that users turn all mobile phones off. Disrupting the peace and quiet of another through calls or music will not be tolerated.
  3. The ZUC Library is strictly a NO SMOKING zone. Patrons must adhere to this rule and maintain the prestige that the Library holds in esteem.
  4. Users of the Library should endeavor to leave bags right outside in the security stand.
  5. Cases related to theft and vandalism of Library properties will not be tolerated and will attract extreme consequences as deemed suitable by the Librarian.
  6. Materials in ‘Reserve’ can only be used inside the Library and must not be taken out of the Library. Patrons in need of these materials are required to present and leave their ID cards at the circulation counter. Upon return of ‘Reserve’ materials, collected ID cards will be returned.
