Study rooms in the Mortvedt Library are a hot commodity!
While we can't be 100% certain if the increased popularity is due to our efforts in improving the spaces (adding computers, clocks, etc.) or if students are just getting more group assignments and need a place to meet up.
Whatever the reason, the demand for study rooms at PLU has been on the rise for the past 5 years. During the 2007-08 Academic Year there were 2,781 room reservations -- during the 2010-11 Academic Year that number reached a record 6,613!
To help the Circulation staff better manage this high demand resource and to make it easier for students to know what is available, Library Services is unveiling a new Room Reservation system. We will be in 'test' mode through J-Term and plan to go be in full swing for Spring Semester.
