OC Libraries' Policies & Procedures

Haselwood Library, Johnson Library, Poulsbo Library

We welcome students, employees, and community members in the open spaces in the OC Libraries. Student use is always prioritized.

HL 127

HL 127 is a classroom in the Haselwood Library that consists of 32 internet-connected computers and a teaching workstation.  The room was designed, built, and outfitted primarily for information literacy (IL) instruction, and may, secondarily, serve as an open-access computer lab.

IL workshops delivered by library faculty have priority over all other uses of the classroom.  

 When not in use for IL instruction, the room may sometimes be made available as an open computing lab. 

IL instruction and open computer access constitute the intended uses of the room.

HL127 is not available to be reserved for study hall, alternative classroom, administration of exams, or multi-day training sessions.

All computer use must follow IT's “Rules & Policies” regarding acceptable behavior. 

Study Rooms and Contemplative Space for Students

Study Rooms for Students

  • Rooms may be reserved by students who need space for individual or group study, or who are meeting with tutors.
  • Excepting Room 005, study rooms are reserved using the sign-up sheet on a clipboard outside the room.
    • Room 005 is a contemplative space and cannot be reserved. Use is limited to 30 minutes. Patrons who need access to the collection may enter the room at any time to access the books.
  • Students may opt to share a room with others by using signs provided for that purpose. 
  • Room reservations are only held for ten minutes past the reservation time. After ten minutes, others without reservations may use the room.
  • Reservations are limited to two-hour intervals with a maximum of two hours per individual/group per day. 
    • If individuals or groups reserve more than two hours, the reservation/group will be removed by staff.
    • If a room is not reserved, the space is available on a first come, first serve basis.  
  • Keep your personal property with you. Unattended items will be collected by library staff or Campus Safety. 

Five of the study rooms may only be reserved by groups;  001, 004, 008, 009, and 013.
