Graduate Study Booths

https://lib.lsu.edu/spaces#graduatestudybooths

LSU Libraries provides graduate study booths to patrons engaged in research which requires the prolonged consultation of significant quantities of library material. All graduate study booths have outlets and desk lamps. Faculty graduate study booths have wall outlets, and graduate graduate study booths have outlets in the base of the desk lamp under the shelf. 32 of the graduate study booths are for faculty use only; the rest are assigned on a first-come-first served basis to faculty and graduate students. Undergraduate students are not eligible to hold a graduate study booth. If no graduate study booths reserved for the use of a faculty member are available, the faculty member will be assigned a graduate graduate study booth and can request to be put on a waiting list for the next available faculty graduate study booth. graduate study booth assignments to faculty expire at the end of the academic year, graduate study booth assignments to graduate students at the end of each semester.

Application for a graduate study booth may be made at any time during the academic year at the LSU Libraries Access Services Desk, by e-mailing the graduate study booth manager directly or by submitting the Study graduate study booth Request Form at the bottom of this window.
Patrons to whom graduate study booths are assigned will be notified by an e-mail sent to their myLSU account. If no graduate study booths are available, patrons are placed on a waiting list until one becomes available or they request to be removed from the list. The graduate study booth will be held for the patron for two weeks. If the key is not picked up within that time, the graduate study booth will be offered to the next person on the waiting list.
Each graduate study booth holder will be issued a key after presenting a copy of the notification e-mail, signing that they are in receipt of a copy of the carrel regulations, and paying a $10.00 deposit at the checkout desk in Room 241. A credit will be issued to the patron's account at the Bursar's Office upon the return of the key.
Toward the end of the graduate study booth reservation period, patrons will be sent a renewal notice via e-mail. Keys for non-renewed graduate study booths are due 2 weeks after the end of the reservation period. Failure to return the key on time or to respond to the renewal notification in a timely fashion will result in the loss of the graduate study booth and the forfeiture of the key deposit.
Carrel holders should notify the graduate study booth manager as soon as they no longer need the space.

No cooking or household appliances allowed in the graduate study booths.
Carrels are intended for reading and research only. They are not to be used for conference or office space.
A graduate study booth may be used only by the person to whom it is assigned.
Nothing should be affixed or installed on any surface of the graduate study booth in a way that would cause permanent damage. The use of screws, nails or permanent adhesives is therefore forbidden. Any other materials not specified in this regulation will be subject to review by Library Management.
No additional locks may be installed.
Do not block air conditioner vents near graduate study booths.
The Library cannot be held responsible for personal property left in any graduate study booth. Thieves occasionally break into graduate study booths and remove items.
Do not leave any items or papers in the graduate study booth.

**Remember**

Carrels must be renewed within two weeks of receiving a renewal notice! Only properly registered students whose library privileges have not expired or been revoked will be permitted to keep their graduate study booth assignments!

Violation of any of these regulations will result in the revocation of the graduate study booth assignment.

Library materials cannot be charged directly to a graduate study booth.
Library materials charged to the graduate study booth holder may be left in the graduate study booth, with the understanding that, should they be stolen from the graduate study booth, the patron, not the library, is responsible for all fines and replacement costs for the item.
Carrels are checked biweekly for uncharged materials. Any such items will be removed from the graduate study booth and reshelved. Library staff will notify the patron about the removal, explaining why it was done. If a graduate study booth holder continually leaves uncharged items in the graduate study booth, the assignment will be revoked.

Study booths can be reserved for a semester by graduate students. A $10.00 refundable key deposit is required. However, study booths are always in high demand and current applicants may be placed on a wait-list.
