Finals will be here soon. Study rooms will be in demand. Now you and your study group can reserve one of those study rooms in advance so you will know exactly when and where to get together for your study session. To use a study room a group must have at least three people.

This is a new service that is available, to start, with four study rooms on the third floor of Paley Library. Students who want to screen a movie may reserve one of four rooms in the Media Services area on the lower level. A room may be reserved for a two-hour block. Rooms may be reserved one time a day per student, and may be reserved up to 48 hours in advance. To reserve a room navigate to our new study room reservation system.

Once you reserve a study room, just stop by the Paley Library Circulation/Reserve Desk (in Tuttleman) to check in for your reservation. You’ll be given the key to your study room. Just return the key when you are done using the room. Here’s a quick look at how it works.

To begin, click on the desired location as shown in the image on the left.

Next, from the calendar select the date for which you wish to reserve a study room.

Green blocks illustrate available time slots. Click on the block to select your desired time. Note that there are 15-minute slots between the two-hour blocks. This allows time for students to pick up and return the room keys at the Tuttleman Circulation desk. Add your name and email and then submit.

 When your submission is complete you will receive an on-screen and email confirmation.

Our goal in implementing this study room reservation system is to make it more convenient and predictable for students to gain access to one of our study rooms. We also seek to make the use of the rooms more equitable by allowing as many students as possible to reserve one of them for a time slot. If you have any questions about the room reservation system or study rooms, call our Access Services Desk at 215-204-0744. We are also open to your suggestions and feedback.
