Mixed recycling comes to the Library!

As of Earth Day, April 22, 2010, mixed recycling will now be available at both South and North Campus Libraries. Informational signs are placed near the blue recycling bins to notify you of what you can and can not recycle. These rules are based on the facility, which can vary from city and even neighborhood.
Recycling Rule: If it’s wet, sticky, or icky, rinse it and recycle it or throw it out.
RECYCLE THESE:

  • Paper, boxboard, envelopes, newspapers, magazines, file folders (please remove binder clips, plastics, and foam)
  • Clean beverage and plastic containers including plastic beverage bottles, aluminum and tin cans, and plastic containers #1-5

DO NOT RECYCLE THESE:

  • Glass
  • Foam cups or containers
  • Food waste or trash
  • Coffee cups
  • Medical waste, including sharps, booties, gloves, or caps
  • Plastic wrap, bags, or wrappers

Please note housekeeping staff may relocate some existing blue bins to break rooms and other high-traffic areas throughout the Library.
For information about mixed recycling, please contact Robert Watts, UT Southwestern Physical Plant, at robert.watts@utsouthwestern.edu or 214-648-3375.

Get study room keys faster with automated dispenser

The ProxSafe Automated Key System is officially launched the week of April 5th. This key system allows UT Southwestern students to obtain keys for the Individual Study Rooms on the main and top floors without stopping at the Information Desk. Other UT Southwestern affiliates such as faculty, fellows and staff will need to stop by the Information Desk for an access card.
The machine is located on the main floor before the individual study cubicles. Instructions about how to use this new system are found at the key dispenser location.
Currently, the system only supports the individual study rooms. It does not include the main floor Clinical Workstations, Group Study Rooms, and the top floor Long Term Study Rooms.
