Do you live in the Nashville area? The library has four study rooms that are dedicated for use by doctoral candidates. These rooms are kept locked unless they are in use.
Doctoral study rooms are reservable. Simply click here to reserve a room by day and time. Then when you arrive at the library, check in with student workers at the Library Services Desk to check out a key for the room reserved. You'll need your TNU ID or Driver's License for checkout. Don't forget to return the key when done.
Because these rooms are available only short-term, personal and library materials will not be left in the study rooms after the key has been returned to the Circulation Desk. View the video below to see how to reserve a doctoral study room.
The Technology Lending Library
If you need headphones, a laptop, charging cables, a tabletop whiteboard, markers/erasers, or ring lights for videoing, the Technology Lending Library can help. The Information Desk has these, plus many more gadgets and technology items to check out to use in the library. Some can be checked out for several days. View more information about our Technology Lending Library here!
The Mediascape Room is another great study space!
Mediascapes are collaborative workstations allowing multiple laptops, tablets, and smartphones to connect simultaneously to a large screen monitor. 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.
