Study Rooms
Do you live in the Nashville area? The library has several study rooms that can be reserved two months in advance. Reservations are important to ensure you have the space when you need it. The study rooms are in high demand. Please check the library hours before coming to campus.
Simply click here to reserve a room by day and time. This page also includes the location of the study rooms - the main floor or second floor of the library. If you are studying with others, note the room capacity, some seat four people while others seat up to eight.
Because these rooms are available only short-term, personal and library materials will not be left unattended in the study rooms.,
Need headphones, a laptop, charging cables, tabletop whiteboard, markers/erasers, or ring lights for videoing?
The Library Services desk on the main floor has a variety of technology for students to check out for use in the library.
Mediascape Room
Mediascapes are collab
orative workstations that allow multiple laptops, tablets, and smartphones to connect to a large screen monitor simultaneously. Waggoner Library personnel reserve the right to relocate groups not using the collaborative nature of the Mediascape to accommodate groups that wish to use these features. The upper-level mediascape study room has a capacity of four persons and is reservable for 3-hour time increments. This room is locked, and reservations are required for access.
Click to reserve: The Upper-Level Mediascape, Room #220
When you arrive at the library, show your reservation email to the Information Desk student worker to check out the key to the room. Upon exiting, lock the door and return the key to the student worker.
