Robert W. Woodruff Library End-of-semester Survival Guide

Quiet Study Areas

The higher the floor in Robert W. Woodruff Library, the quieter it will be. Levels 3 on up are quiet floors. Levels 1 & 2 accommodate more conversations and study groups.
The Matheson Reading Room, accessible via the bridge on level 3, is the quietest space of all.
If you choose to sit at a large table, be open to making room for others to sit with you. If you’re looking for a seat, don’t be afraid to ask politely if you may join the table if there’s room!
Please turn your cell phones to vibrate. If you have to answer your phone, try not to do so around those who are hard at work. Instead, utilize Levels 1 & 2 for your conversations. Similarly, when using headphones, remember that if others can hear your music it is probably too loud!

Learning Commons combines technological resources and support services in an accessible, welcoming environment for learning and research.
The first two floors of Woodruff are designed to be a place for library users to gather and interact, so if you are working with a group, this is a great place to be.
Many of the tables, seating and whiteboards on the Level 2 are mobile so you can move things around to best accommodate your study needs.
Group study rooms, with and without technology, can be located throughout the library. The new Student Digital Life Resource Scheduler makes reserving a room easier than ever.
A presentation practice and video conferencing room is available on Level 2. This room can also be reserved through the Student Digital Life Resource Scheduler.
