Room use guidelines:

• Library employees may reserve rooms and must be present during the scheduled event.

• Use of rooms by persons who are not employees of the UT Libraries, for purposes other than library instruction and training, is discouraged.
• Consult with IT support staff ahead of time for technical assistance.
