Library Renovations

Study Rooms Update

There are 7 individual study rooms available in the Library during the renovation. 

 

Due to the heavy demand of these rooms, 5 of the 7 rooms are now for 4-hour use only.

 

2 rooms remain for 12-hour use.


Please check with the CheckOut/Front Desk to use these rooms. 

In the library

The Library is open regular hours and is providing the same services the campus has come to expect.  Some materials and resources are now in new locations so please feel free to ask at the Circulation Desk (right as you come in the door) or the Research Desk for assistance.

WORKSPACE—Although we’ve had to cut back on the number of seats available in the library there are still over 420 places to work on the Concourse and Ground Floor. If the Concourse level is very busy consider going down to the Ground Floor, the Wifi connection down there has been expanded.  There are also eight individual study rooms available though the Circulation Desk.

COMPUTERS—There are 39 public computers available, 30 iPads (for use in and out of the library) and 32 laptops (for use in the library).  We also have a quick print station and an overhead scanner by the Research Desk.  There is a flatbed scanner and two public computers on the Ground Floor near the copier machine.

POWER—We have improved electrical access by locating power strips on several tables throughout the library.  Bring your own charging cables.

GROUP STUDY—We encourage group study at the tables near the Reference Desk.  This is one of our busy service points in the Library and along with the Circulation Desk will be one of the noisier areas.

QUIET STUDY—We have designated the ground floor and part of the Concourse level as Quiet Study Areas.  This is one of the greatest demands in the library and for many students is the only place they can study in relative quiet.  You can also checkout  headphones at the Circulation Desk.  Thanks for your cooperation in refraining from conversation, phone calls, etc. in these designated Quiet Study Areas.

CAFFEINE—Since STL Jazzman’s is closed the closest snack bar is in Parker Theatre or JFT.  You may still bring covered beverages into the library, but NO FOOD (thank you!).
