With guidance from Access Services (especially Jeffrey Lynch), Arthur Downing, and Joseph Hartnett, I’ve updated the Study Rooms page so that the current COVID-era policies are integrated into the page instead of being tacked on at the top of the page:
- No reservations (first-come, first-served only)
- Keys checked out for 2 hours
- Rooms have no minimum number of users (this is to allow more people to use the rooms for things like taking online courses and job interviews)
- CUNY SPS students can check out keys for any room just as Baruch students can (although there is one room set aside for them that will get used first for CUNY SPS students needing a room)
This week I hope to have the “STUDY ROOMS” box on the home page updated so that it no longer links to the defunct room reservation system.
