Group Study Rooms

There are 22 rooms in the Library for student group study. They are available during regular Library hours.  Students can reserve these rooms using Zimbra.

Self-Booking of Group Study Rooms

To reserve a group study room:  Open your Huskymail/Zimbra calendar; begin creating a new appointment.  At the location tab, in the Name field type: library and click "Search".  Room numbers will pop up - double click on a room to reserve it.   NOTE: Make sure to check the status (in the righthand column) of a room before booking to make sure it is "free".  If it is "busy" do not reserve it.  Complete the rest of your reservation.  Group study rooms are available during regular Library hours.

Rooms are equipped with whiteboards for use with dry erase markers only, electrical outlets and wireless access for computers.  Dry erase markers and erasers can be checked out from the Circulation Desk on the first floor.
