What happens in the Reading Room? 

• Be prepared to give desk staff the course number/title and instructor name, so that staff can determine which collection materials are on hold for your class. 
• Refer to the class spreadsheet to find the book title(s) and number(s) that you wish to see, and let staff know what those are. 
• Only certain personal items may be brought into the reading room: laptops, phones, other electronics, note paper, pencils, and limited study materials (subject to approval). Other belongings should be placed in a locker outside the reading room, including bags, laptop sleeves, coats, ink pens, etc.
• Staff will bring materials to the table where you are sitting. When you are finished, or need a different book, alert the desk staff. They will pick up unneeded items, and bring new ones, as needed. Please do not carry materials across the room yourself.
