Study Room Policies

Study Rooms are available in Norlin Library, the W. M. White Business Library, and the L. H. Gemmill Engineering Library.

 

Some of these rooms are funded by student computing fees and therefore only available to students.  All rooms contain some electronic equipment and software (specific equipment is listed in the online record for each room) are intended for either instruction use or for the preparation of presentations or academic group projects.

 

Rooms may be reserved by a faculty member or by an individual member of a study group through the libraries web catalog at http://libraries.colorado.edu/screens/studyrooms.html.  Rooms may also be reserved at the Norlin, Business, or Engineering circulation desk.

 

The Media Conference Room is available by reservation for instructional use of audiovisual equipment and materials (faculty or TAs only). This conference room is also available for booking by Faculty and Staff of the University Libraries for library-related functions.

 

The person making the booking MUST check out the key to the booked study room at the appropriate circulation desk.  By booking a room for a specified date and time, the faculty member and or study group obligate themselves to the following policies:
