I …….…………………………………………………… (name of volunteer) agree to work as a volunteer for UCL Library Services and I freely commit myself to a placement / project and to

• read and accept the UCL Library Services Volunteer Policy, plus all the institution's regulations and instructions on security, health and safety, fire and other emergency procedures and confidentiality of information.
• take part in the UCL Library Services induction procedures (where appropriate) and accept training for the role where necessary.
• agree to abide by the Library Regulations and the rules governing access to the Library's manuscript collections and College Archives held in the Library, including photographs, films, tapes or machinereadable records. I undertake to indemnify the College and also the owners of any such papers, where applicable, against all claims and actions on the part of other persons arising out of the inclusion in any manuscript of mine, or the disclosure of publication by me in any other way, of any matter taken from the papers consulted which constitutes or may constitute a libel upon any person, an infringement of copyright, or breach of confidence.
• inform the person to whom I report as soon as possible if I am unable to meet my voluntary obligation to UCL Library Service. In the event that we no longer require your voluntary services we will advise you in accordance with UCL Library Services Volunteer Policy. Should you wish to discontinue your voluntary work with us, please inform us as soon as possible in accordance with UCL Library Services Volunteer Policy.
