Unoccupied carrels may be used by anyone until an assignee returns. Open seating is at tables in the Reading Rooms and at carrels marked x on the floor plans on Levels 3-6 . Carrels must be kept free of litter. In the reading rooms, pictures, signs, etc., may not be attached to the outside of carrels. At the end of the spring semester, the library staff begins assigning carrels for the next year.
Students fill out carrel preference forms.
Carrel assignments are done by lottery and preferences are considered in the assignment process. Students are assigned 2 to a carrel. Special accommodation requirements should be discussed with Prof. George Grossman. At the end of the school year all personal property should be removed from carrels. Items left in carrels by previous assignees may be discarded or, if of value, turned over to the lost and found.
