There are two ways to view study rooms managed by the Law Library. The first is through the public view The public view only shows when the rooms are occupied or unoccupied. This is the view seen from tablets that are near the doors of each library-managed study room. You will have to manually arrow through each day to show the correct booking grid every morning. If the tablet is stuck or unresponsive, please let your supervisor know.
The second is through an administrator view. The administrator view shows data points such as name, email, and more. Depending on what is needed different staff members will have different privileges. Student assistants will have a login provided by the Reference Librarians, and will go through training with them.

When assisting a patron on booking a study room, make sure that the Location is the Chicksaw National Law Library instead of View All Locations. This ensures that the patron is booking a study room in the School of Law rather than Main Campus. Make sure that the date is correct.
If study rooms are empty ensure that all the chairs are pushed in, the whiteboards are erased, and there is no trash on the table or floor.
During the summer, bar takers will have extended privileges for study rooms. Rather than the four-hour maximum, bar takers are given eight hours of study room booking a day.
This is subject to change.
