Faculty Study Room Policy


The library will make a number of faculty study rooms available for use by MSUM faculty and emeriti. The administrative assistant will publicize the availability of faculty study rooms each fall. Faculty and emeriti will request rooms at the beginning of each fall semester through an online form and will be assigned based upon status of faculty member and research needs. Faculty may request rooms for a semester or the entire academic year each fall. The final decision on the assignment of the faculty study rooms will be made by the Executive Director of the Library.

Study rooms will normally be assigned for special projects and research and are not intended to serve as a primary or secondary office space. Faculty may be asked to share a study room or rotate out if demand warrants.

Requests will be ranked in priority order:

  • Current faculty with research or writing projects
  • Emeriti and retired faculty with research or writing projects

Assignments are made by the semester or by the summer session. Keys for the faculty rooms will be requested by the faculty member or emeriti through the Campus Parking and key office. Study rooms will be available during library hours. Faculty will not be issued keys for after-hours access to the library.

Faculty members and emeriti will be required to check out all library materials housed in their faculty rooms. Privileges will be revoked if library materials are determined to be in a faculty room and not checked out to the individual.
