STUDENT USE & OPEN HOURS

The Smith College Libraries classroom is located on the first floor (north) of Neilson Library. Although its primary purpose is to teach library and electronic resources, it is now available during the fall and spring terms to members of the Smith community as a Library Laboratory. During those times when classes are not being taught or meetings held, the classroom is available for your use during the following times:

Monday - Thursday 7 pm - 10 pm
Saturday 12:30 - 6 pm
Sunday 12:30 pm - 5 pm; 7 pm - 10 pm

ACCESS

To access library-related or word processing software, you must have an active Smith College computer account. Questions concerning passwords or other matters relating to computer accounts should be addressed to Information Technology Systems In Stoddard Hall, 585-4487.

PURPOSE

The primary purpose of the Smith College Libraries Classroom is as a place for the teaching of electronic and other library resources by library staff.

When not needed for library instruction, the room is also available for occasional use by Smith College faculty needing a location for demonstrating electronic resources to a class.

During other hours to be determined by library staff the room will be available to members of the Smith community for access to electronic resources and other software as deemed appropriate by the Systems Librarian.

SCHEDULING

Classes in library instruction have absolute priority over all other uses of the room. Scheduling will be overseen by the Library Instruction Coordinator or, in his/her absence, another reference librarian. Reservation requests by non-library staff should be directed to the Neilson Library Reference Section at 585-2967.

Daily schedules of events including open use hours will be posted on this bulletin board. When not in use, the room will be locked but will be available for staff use upon request.

RESTRICTIONS

Except by special invitation the Smith College Libraries Classroom will be available to Smith community members only. As with other Smith computer laboratories, students will be required to enter a password to access resources.

While the room is available for occasional use by Smith College faculty, it is not for routine class meetings. First-time instructors are asked to schedule a brief orientation with the Library Instruction Coordinator before using the room.

No software may be loaded or computer reconfigured without the consent of the Systems Librarian. At least 72 hour notice should be given if any such changes are desired.

Food or drink may not be brought into the room.

All activities in the Smith College Libraries Classroom must conform to Smith College's computer use and copyright policies.
