Using Group Study Rooms in the OSF Library

• Computers have been installed in study rooms LL20, LL21, 312A, 312B, and 322 in the library. These computers have the usual Microsoft software as the computers in the InfoCommons and other computing labs (Word, Excel, etc.); however, they are not able to print.
• These rooms can be used by groups of three or more people.
• Groups can use a room for a maximum of two hours. Any group study room can be reserved in advance by signing up on the reserve sheets posted on the doors.
• Unscheduled groups must vacate a room when a scheduled group arrives. Groups lose their right to the room if they do not claim it within ten minutes of their scheduled time.
• Although individuals do not sign up to reserve these rooms, a person studying alone is welcome to use a group study room if open, but will need to vacate it if the room is needed by a group.
• The group study rooms are not to be used for regularly scheduled meetings.
• LL21 is a "quiet computer study room."  There are several computers in this room available for computer work in a quiet environment.
