Group Study Rooms

Paterson Library Commons has 5 Group Study Rooms available for group work during library hours.  Located on the 1st floor of the library, each room includes an internet connection and wireless capability, a 40" Samsung wall mounted monitor with remote control, an Intel E7500 computer with Windows XP and a JVC combination VHS/DVD player, as well as a table that sits 4 to 6 people comfortably.  The library also loans out additional equipment (ie. video cameras, flip charts, laptops, etc.) to assist students with completing assignments or presentations.

To Access

• The room must be booked through the Booking System  using your college email address (first time users, follow the registration process)
• The Room Key must be signed out from the Library's 2nd floor Desk for the booked time slot
• Remote controls for the equipment can be booked out at the same Desk
• A student/staff ID card is required

Guidelines

• A reservation is required to access a study room
• Rooms can be booked in advance for up to a 2 hour time slot, with a maximum of 8 hours per week per student
• Only cold snacks and covered cups are allowed - no hot foods
• Upon entering a study room, inspect it for visible damages and report any problems/damages to Library staff
• Please respect fellow students, leave the room neat and tidy - remove all personal items and garbage
• If  you decide not to use the study room, please delete your booking - this will remove it from the 8 hour maximum
• If you fail to arrive within the first 15 minutes, the room may be assigned to another group of students
• All rooms must be vacated and keys returned 5 minutes prior to the end of the booking time (to avoid a late fine)
• The Library reserves the right to delete multiple bookings beyond the first 2 hours

• The user booking the room is responsible for any damages to the room, or the equipment, during the booked time slot

Please take care of the equipment and the facilities so that we can continue to offer these services.
