          As the Fall semester approaches, we are considering revising
          our library's food & drink policy. I am curious about
          policies in effect at other academic law libraries and how
          these policies are enforced. I have come across some
          articles in College & Research Library News dealing with
          other academic libraries, but not law libraries. Also, I
          have checked academic law library web sites through the
          links provided by Washburn.

          I would appreciate hearing by direct e-mail from any who
          would be kind enough to respond:

          1. What policy, if any, your library has concerning food
          and drink in the library?

          2. How is this policy enforced and by whom? (For example,
          is the policy actively enforced or are only flagrant
          violators singled out; are some patrons, such as undergrad
          students using the law library scrutinzed more closely than
          law students, etc.).

          If you would reply directly to me, I will, given enough
          responses, post a summary for the list and/or write up
          something for a publication such as the ALL SIS Newsletter.

          Thanks for any replies!
