Q. How do I reserve a room in Roy O. West Library?

There are a lot of spaces in Roy O. West Library available for use, most of which are just "see a spot, grab it," but others are spaces you can check out or reserve.  Any spaces not listed below (including the Laptop Lab #119) are not reservable. 

Study Rooms 1-17
There are 17 study rooms spread out over the top 3 floors of Roy. Study rooms are for current DePauw students. If a student would like to reserve a study room, they can find information about that here. If a room is not occupied, you can inquire at TheDesk and check out a key to the room. You will have it for two hours. Different rooms have different set-ups - tables & chairs, couches, etc - but almost all have a monitor (for projecting your computer) and a whiteboard). 

Faculty Carrels
We have 5 carrels (in the southwest corner of the top floor). These basic spaces include a desk and chair, and provide solitude for faculty to get out of their office and work on a project for a few hours. They can be checked out for a day at a time by inquiring at The Desk. 

The spaces below can be booked by faculty and staff via e-services. Student organizations would need their sponsor to schedule the space. 

Conference Room 206A 
This conference room is bookable on e-services for individual events. When not reserved, it's available for anyone to use without checking out. 

Wood Study
The Wood Study is located to the left as you enter Roy from the Quad. This space is bookable on e-services by faculty/staff and can accommodate catered events. 

Viewing Room (008) - the Viewing Room on the lower level of Roy will be bookable by the Registrar's Office as a regular classroom space. Faculty and staff can also book it for individual events in e-services. 

Classroom 205 - This classroom (on the 2nd floor) supports group work. There are several "pods" with five seats in each pod, with a projectable monitor for each. It would be particularly useful if students are working collaboratively on projects on their laptops. It is bookable by the Registrar's Office as a regular classroom space. Faculty and staff can also book it for individual events in e-services. 

Classroom 204 - This lab has desktop computers with more specialized software. It is bookable by the Registrar's Office as a regular classroom space. Faculty and staff can also book it for individual events in e-services.
