The primary purpose of the electronic classroom at each campus library is
to provide a space for librarians to conduct library instruction
sessions. These sessions are scheduled a week or more in advance
at the request of the course instructor.
Conditions for Shared Use
In the spirit of collegiality, and in the recognition that the
college lacks sufficient electronic classroom space, the librarians may
make the classrooms available for non-library use (“shared use”) under
some specific circumstances:
- These shared use events will not interfere with the availability
of the room for its primary purpose – library instruction.
-
Shared use consists of one-time events – for
example, an instructor needs a lab for one class period to
demonstrate a software product to the class.
-
The room will not be scheduled
for multiple or regular sessions, other than library instruction,
when classes are in session. Instructors who need an
electronic classroom for multiple dates throughout the semester need
to make other arrangements.
-
At the discretion of the Library Instruction
Coordinator on each campus, the classroom may be made available for
multiple dates when classes are not in session. Nursing
testing and freshman orientation are examples of appropriate uses
that might be accommodated. Please be aware that the room may
not be available during all the dates and times you need it.
-
Instructors who use the room for non-library
purposes agree to abide by these guidelines:
-
You will need to contact Security if a
library staff member is not available to open or lock up the
room.
-
No software is to be loaded on the
computers, and no other changes to the computers, projector,
printer, or any other equipment are permitted.
-
Please refrain from eating or drinking at
the computers.
-
You must submit a class roster or other
documentation noting the date and time of the session, your
department, the purpose of the session, and the number of
students who used the room.
-
Equipment should be turned off and, where
required (Flanagan, Knight), lights turned off and room locked.
-
If you encounter problems with the
equipment in the room, contact a librarian (if the library is
open) or the IT department (if the library is closed).
Notify the Instruction Coordinator the next day of any problems,
and any actions taken to correct them.
