Graduate Student Spaces in Alderman Library


To the University of Virginia graduate students from the University Libraries, 19 August 2011: 

Check out the new Alderman Library Graduate Student Reading Room which will officially open on Monday, August 22nd

The Grad Reading Room occupies the former Interlibrary Loan office on the 3rd floor between the 3Old Stacks and the 3East Reading Room (Maps/Microforms). 


The space contains two 4-seat study tables, three individual study tables, a number of comfortable chairs, and laptop tables. Shelves along the walls will be assigned to interested grad students and lockers are available for short term storage needs. Contact Warner Granade (granade@virginia.edu) if you are interested in shelf space. Locker keys will circulate from the service desk in the 3rd Floor Central Reading Room.

The Graduate Student Conference Room (Room 310) is located at the back of the Grad Reading Room.
 
The Grad Conference Room will be reserved for Library use until 1pm. After 1pm and on weekends it is available for reservation by graduate students only. Small study groups or presentations, single office hours, and other meetings are welcome to reserve this space. We cannot accept long-term or multiple bookings. The Grad Conference Room can be entered via the Grad Student Reading Room or the 3New Stacks. For larger meetings please ask attendees to enter via the 3New Stacks entrance.

For more information on the room and to reserve the Grad Conference Room please see the Graduate Student Reading Room guide. This space is for graduate students and their guests only. All grad students are welcome, regardless of school or college. Signs on the doors – from the 3East Reading Room and the 3Old Stacks - will indicate that the room is reserved for graduate student use. 

This is your space in Alderman Library. Please use and enjoy it!
