Comment Guidelines

Please observe the following guidelines when making comments to Eleventh Stack:

1. Eleventh Stack is an online forum for Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh customers and staff members to discuss books, movies, music, programs and services.  Library staff members contribute reviews, essays, and news items about titles in the CLP collection, and raise ideas, questions and concerns for discussion.
2. To participate in the discussion, leave a comment at the end of a post.
3. All comments will be reviewed by the blog administrators prior to publication.  Inappropriate comments will be deleted.
4. In order to protect your privacy, please refrain from including personally identifiable information, such as telephone numbers, addresses, e-mail addresses or photographs in your comments.
5. Please limit your comments to text only.  Any text, artwork, or photographs that may be under copyright should not be submitted.  Include a source for quotations (author and/or title only is fine).
6. Do not use profane, obscene, or otherwise offensive language.  The blog administrators are the final arbiters of what constitutes “offensive.”
7. Please be respectful of other contributors.  The posting of deliberately hostile or insulting messages (“flaming”) will not be tolerated.
8. Do not promote any product, service, or non-library event (examples include self-published books, editing, tutoring, or other professional services).  This is a non-commercial forum.
9. All comments must conform to the CLP Internet Safety and Use Policy.
10. Questions and comments about blog content and comments should be e-mailed to eleventhstack@carnegielibrary.org .  Please contact your local library for questions and information on any other library-related issues.
