The only time limit imposed was an 8-hour check-out time, during finals each semester.<\/p>\n This past semester there was unprecedented demand for and use of the group study rooms. Most weekdays all<\/strong> <\/em>group study rooms were checked out and unavailable by 11:30am.<\/p>\n After surveying students to find out if changes were needed, the results came back, with students recommending a 6-hour limit for use<\/strong><\/span>, and so this is the change we are making.<\/p>\n This will hopefully result in greater room turnover and more students having use of the group study rooms.<\/p>\n This new policy goes into effect Monday, January 9th<\/sup> and can be viewed here http:\/\/library.shu.edu\/library\/group-study-policy<\/a><\/p>\n Any questions or concerns should be directed to:<\/p>\n Sebastian Derry Beginning first day of Spring Semester 2017 we will be changing the length of time that our group study rooms may be checked out: **Group study rooms now are available for 6-hour check-out period only, throughout the semester.** The old policy allowed for a group study room key to be checked out by a group … Continue reading “New Circulation Policy for Group Study Rooms”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3083,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[80,67],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1712","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-group-study-rooms","category-library-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/libraries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1712","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/libraries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/libraries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/libraries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3083"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/libraries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1712"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/libraries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1712\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1722,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/libraries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1712\/revisions\/1722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/libraries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1712"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/libraries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1712"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/libraries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1712"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
