Panic Buttons - Doe North, Doe South, Moffitt 3, and Moffitt 4

Let's review the panic buttons' locations and how to activate them.

Doe North

The Doe North panic button is located below the desk approximately right above where your right leg is (see pic):

The mechanism for the DoeNorth panic button is less basic, and therefore more secure, than the Moffitt 3 one (see below):

To activate this alarm you simply pull down on the tab, and tap up towards the desk...


Doe South

The Doe South panic button is located below the crook of the counter (see pic):

To activate the panic button, use your right hand reach behind steel box, push left with hooked right index finger, it should feel like you are pointing the box in the direction of trouble in front of you (see pic):

Moffitt 3

The Moffitt 3 panic button is located on top of the cabinet under the computer station.

Moffitt 4

The Moffitt 4 panic button is located under the Circulation Desk at Moffitt 4. You can easily see where it is located thanks to the pictured sign.

This button is the same model as the one at Doe North. To activate this alarm you simply pull down on the tab, and tap up towards the desk.


I hope none of you ever have to use them, but if you ever feel your safety or that of your Library users is in danger, feel free to use it without delay.
