Public Services Policies: Collaborative Rooms

The James A. Cannavino Library provides 14 Collaborative Rooms, located on the 3rd and 1st floors of the library.

These rooms are designed for group study for current Marist students, although particular rooms allow for individual use for the specific purposes of skype interviews or presentation practice and recording, or for use by faculty.

Collaborative Rooms vary in size and equipment. 

Self Booking:

All rooms can be reserved at https://marist.libcal.com/reserve/

At time of Room Use:

Rooms will be unlocked. You may go directly to your reserved space. Leave the room unlocked when you are finished.
