Conference rooms

The two conference rooms in the library are located on the ground floor and on the first floor. Although they are primarily intended as meeting places for library-sponsored meetings and activities, they may be reserved by other departments for occasional meetings. The Library, however, reserves priority of usage for library-sponsored events.

Conference rooms may be reserved during periods and hours when the Library is open to the university community. All reservations must be made in advance with the library Secretary.

Conference rooms are not to be used as classrooms or study rooms.
