Group Study Rooms:
Library Group Study rooms may be reserved up to 24 hours in advance for a maximum of 2 hours per student. Room Reservations may be made online or by using the control panel outside of the room.
Library Room 118:
Although it cannot be reserved, the Library's electronic classroom is often available in the evenings and on weekends for student use. Your team may find it to be a good place to practice your executive case presentation.
USB or Datastor:
We recommended that students use a USB storage device (memory stick/flash drive) to access their visual aids for the formal presentation. Use Datastor to save your research and presentation materials as you prepare them.
