New Library Spaces Available for Zoom Classes and Appointments
色情视频 Library now offers reserved single-use rooms as private spaces for virtual classes or appointments.
Students looking for private space for Zoom presentations, online job interviews or telehealth appointments now have just the place to go: the University Library.
Tucked away on the fourth floor of Love Library are four new, single-use study rooms. These rooms can be so that anyone with an 色情视频 ID (students, faculty, or staff) can be sure to have them when they are needed. Doors have locks for privacy and the keys are checked out from the circulation desk.
Over the past year, students have let staff and librarians know that they needed safe and secure spaces to complete certain types of classes, take part in a job interview, or meet with a health professional.
STEM Librarian Jenny Wong-Welch led the library鈥檚 collaboration with the Division of Student Affairs and Campus Diversity to find the best way to meet these needs.
Counseling and Psychological Services Director Jennifer Rikard echoed the need for convenient and private spaces for students to participate in the growing use of telehealth sessions.
鈥淔or our students, the telehealth platform has opened options for care for mental and physical health, easing barriers. We are thrilled that the library is supporting students' need for private space to engage in these appointments that are critical to enhancing their well-being.鈥�
The use of telehealth medical and counseling sessions increased dramatically during and after the COVID-19 pandemic and virtual delivery of healthcare services is expected to continue. A private space in the middle of campus also increases the student鈥檚 flexibility for these types of appointments.
The four rooms available already are in heavy use. If the volume of reservations continues, more rooms are expected to be added. Currently, students must bring their own internet-enabled devices.
