HomeLibrary Puts Locked Study Room Reservations Online
November 13, 2006
Knight Library has revamped its study room booking procedure to make it easier for students to reserve rooms. The previous process, in which students called 24 hours in advance to reserve a room, has been replaced with a more convenient online self-booking tool.
While Knight Library has twenty-four available study rooms, self-booking is only available for twelve lockable rooms. The other dozen rooms can be used on a first-come, first-served basis.
Benefits of the new procedure include the following:
- Locked rooms provide added security for your personal belongings if you leave the room
- Key checkout is available at the time the room is occupied. (Previously, advance key checkout was required.)
- Key checkout on weekends is now available.
- Individuals can now reserve and use locked study rooms. (Previously, the use of study rooms was limited to groups only.)
Reserving a Room
To reserve a room, go to the library’s home page (http://libweb.uoregon.edu/) and click the Schedule a Room link under About the Libraries. Then select “Reserve a study room” under the Meeting Rooms section. Select Book This Material and follow the instructions on the form to reserve your room. Step-by-step instructions are given at http://libweb.uoregon.edu/acs_svc/selfbook_studyrooms.html.
After you reserve a locked study room, check out the key at the Checkout/Information Desk at the start of your scheduled room time. The rooms should remain locked at all times to help ensure the safety of your personal belongings.
Rooms can be booked for four-hour stretches and will only be held a maximum of fifteen minutes past the scheduled reservation time. Late fees apply to keys not returned on time.
For more information, call Knight Library’s Checkout/Information Desk at 346-3065 or go to http://libweb.uoregon.edu/general/services/groupuse.html.
