As outlines are being written, notes organized and topics discussed, the library has 5 group study rooms that are ideal for collaborative group study.
Beginning Monday, November 28th through the exam period Friday December 16th, the library will be accepting reservations to ensure collaborative group study has high priority. A group being defined by two or more people. Study room reservations will be taken only by library staff and may be made up to 24 hours in advance. The library staff will be happy to assist with arrangements.
To reserve a study room, the library requires 2 names and 2 user ids (abc123) of students who will be using the room for group study.
- Study rooms are reserved for 2 hours and can be renewed for an additional 2 hours by that group if there are no subsequent reservations.
- A member of the occupying group must renew for additional time at the desk.
- If they find they need more time to meet after the renewal of the 2-hour time, the group may move to another study room for another two hours if one is open. A member of that group must come to the desk and make that request.
- Larger groups may prefer to use rooms 202 and 203 which seat 8-10 students respectively. Room 209 holds 6 students.
- The smaller study rooms, 207 and 208 are more suitable for groups with 5 or less people.
Reserved study rooms must be occupied by at least 1 member of the group within 10 minutes of the reservation or forfeit use to another group or individual.
Please be mindful of noise in the library during this time and respectful of others studying at the open tables.
Individual student studiers may use a study room and do not need to reserve it until a group reservation is made for that time.
- Individual students should ask at the circulation desk to see what rooms are available. IA room may be used if open however, if the room is subsequently held by a group, the individual user will have to find another study space.
- The lower level of the library is quiet removed from the bustle of the main floor with carrels and soft seating.
For your own benefit do not leave personal property unattended in the library.
Please remember the study rooms are not private offices. The carrels and open study tables are not personal office space. By following these guidelines, it improves the opportunity for many study groups the use of study rooms for collaborative study.
