Policy and Booking Calendar. To see who has the room booked, log into LibCal Spaces and check 'Confirmed Bookings.'
Consultation Room
The purpose of the consultation room is to provide a quiet space for librarians to hold research consultations with patrons. The guidelines are meant to make the best use of the space while keeping it primarily available for this purpose.
First priority for use of the room is always given to UGA Libraries’ employees who are meeting with patrons for a research consultation.
Second priority for use of the room is for UGA Libraries’ employees who are developing online tutorials, participating in online meetings or webinars, or training new staff.
If the room is not in use as outlined above, it may be used by:
Other Libraries’ employees (including Coffee & Bagels’ staff) for private appointments (e.g., telemedicine) or meetings such as job interviews or performance evaluations when another room is not available.
UGA students for remote job interviews.
In order to preserve availability for staff use, the room is not to be used for individual or group study. Students needing group study space should be directed to the 1st floor annex, the 4th floor study space, or the Miller Learning Center.
How people outside of Research & Instruction can schedule the room:
Any full-time employee in the Research & Instruction Department will make the reservation in Outlook on the "Main Library Consultation Room" calendar. The requestor’s name and UGA email address should be included in the calendar entry.
The room may be booked no more than one week in advance.
Except for first and second priority use described above, all appointments should last one hour or less.
Instruction Lab
When giving directions, be aware that all signs in the building refer to the room as "Library Instruction Lab." Although the Outlook calendar uses an old name ("MainLib Lab A") no sign in the building uses that name.
Priority use: Priority is always given to library instruction. Although any UGA Libraries' staff may schedule the Instruction Lab, please note that meetings may be asked to relocate if the lab is needed for a class.
The Instruction Lab is generally reserved for librarians meeting with classes and for other Libraries' use. Non-Libraries' units who ask to use the space may be able to use the Barr Seminar Room. If the Barr Room will not suit their needs, direct them to the Tate Center's Campus Reservations form. If they cannot get a room through Campus Reservations, refer them to Kristin Nielsen. Non-Libraries' units may not use the room during the peak instruction periods of August - October and January - March (breaks excepted).
B2
B2 is not controlled by the Libraries. Security has a key to the room. Center for Teaching and Learning supports the classroom's technology, and you can call their office when someone has accidentally locked the instructor podium or there are tech problems. Campus Reservations schedules the room. The only entrance is through the lobby and requires stairs. Faculty need to speak with their department to have a class relocated if a student cannot use stairs.
