Permission to Film and/or Photograph in MSU Libraries

The MSU Libraries are spaces for students, faculty and staff to use for study, research and collaboration. We get many requests to use our spaces for filming, however we must balance these requests with the needs for our space and the privacy of the people that are studying within it. The Michigan Library Privacy Act protects the privacy of our users and the materials that they use from filming unless they give permission to do so, therefore any filming in the Libraries must take extra precautions to not film patrons studying or researching.

Please note the course and professor if filming is affiliated with a class.
