Security & Information
It is the mission of the J. Willard Marriott Library to provide a safe environment for our employees and visitors and to preserve and protect our facilities and collections. Library Security is charged with the ongoing responsibility for security, fire prevention and protection, and safety within our building and on our grounds. Library Security is the first responder to any situation that may arise in the building.
Security has a constant presence on all floors and is stationed at both entrances to assist library users. We encourage library users to report suspicious or inappropriate activity immediately to us via phone 801-581-8600 or at the nearest library service desk. The Marriott Library asks that all library users become familiar with and abide by all policies. Emergency exit routes are posted throughout the building by all elevators and stairwells.
Library Security enforces all University and Library policies as well as State and Federal law in cooperation with University of Utah Police.
Book Gate Alarm Procedure
When the gate alarm sounds, patrons will be asked to return to the Security & Information Desk where Library staff will ask them to go through their bag to ascertain the source that caused the alarm. If the patron refuses or is found to have damaged, torn, or mutilated Library materials, University of Utah Police will be called immediately. The Library staff will document the incident. If the patron is a student and has a previous offense, the Dean of Students Office will be contacted for disciplinary action. Unauthorized removal of library materials or property will be treated as theft and University of Utah Police will be contacted.
