Scheduling

• To schedule a room:
  • Use Webevent: Please schedule use of the classroom through the WebEvent classroom scheduling form
    • WSU faculty, please feel free to contact your Subject Librarian to assist with scheduling a room. We welcome all WSU faculty to work with the appropriate Subject Librarian to design information literacy sessions and/or assignments for your students.
    • You will generally receive an email confirmation within a few days following your scheduling request.
  • Plan ahead:
    • Please schedule the classroom several days in advance when possible. To check on the availability of a classroom for several weeks or longer, please email Library Instruction, or call the Reference Desk, 801-626-6415.
  • Other departments: Although the library classes and information literacy sessions have priority use, we welcome the use of the classrooms by other departments, as available
    • These classrooms are generally booked most mornings from week 2 through week 6 of each semester for library classes, English 2010 and First Year Experience library instruction sessions.
    • Because these rooms are so heavily booked they are generally unavailable for off campus patrons.
• To change or cancel a scheduled room: We appreciate knowing as soon as possible if you are not going to use a room so we can make it available to others.
• Contact Reference staff, 801-626-6415.
• If you are working with a Subject Librarian please also contact the Subject Librarian.

 

Supervision and Use of Classrooms

• Supervision:
  • A WSU faculty or staff member must supervise classroom use at all times.
  • Students or outside community members should not be left in the rooms unsupervised.
  • Unsupervised use could result in the loss or misuse of high use and expensive equipment.
  • Library faculty/staff should remind other faculty using the rooms to be sure to maintain supervision and to make sure rooms are locked when they leave.
• Opening classrooms:
  • Faculty/Staff: If you are not working directly with a Subject Librarian, please ask Reference or Circulation staff  to open the classroom door for you.
    • Reference staff may assist with opening rooms 138 and 106
    • Circulation staff may assist with opening rooms 31 and 59
  • Students in REGULARLY SCHEDULED for credit classes may ask staff to open classroom  5 to 10 minutes before faculty arrive.  Library staff (as listed above) may do so to alleviate noise and congestion.
• Closing classrooms:
  • Faculty/Staff: Please make sure lights are off and the door is closed and locked when you leave. Do not leave the room unattended.
  • Do not turn off any stations when you are finished. Library staff will shutdown stations daily.
• Food and Drink:
  • Food and drink should not be brought into the classroom. If it is a special occasion and you want to bring food or drink into the classroom, please let us know in advance in the scheduling form and be extremely discreet. ALL food and beverages must be consumed at the round tables and may not come anywhere near the computers.

Equipment Guidelines

• Instructions:
  • A notebook with equipment instructions is on, or near, the teaching station in each classroom. This three ring binder contains detailed instructions for using the teaching station and student stations.
  • Make sure you have practiced using all the equipment needed in the classroom well in advance of teaching.
• Hardware and Software: We assume you will use our existing hardware and software.  
  • New hardware and software is selected by the Information Literacy team. Any new hardware or software selected will usually only be installed between terms.
  • If you need to use your own hardware or laptop, please call Systems at 801-626-6860 well in advance so we can schedule Systems support. 
  • Do not install any hardware or software without the direct assistance and consent of Library Systems. This includes connecting laptops.
  • Call Systems at 801-626-6806 if you have any questions regarding hardware or software installation needs.
• Problems with Equipment:
  • If you have problems with equipment call Reference staff (801-626-6415) or Systems (801-626-6860)
