LibCal is part of the LibApps platform and is operated by Springshare. LibCal is used for four primary functions:
The library has 11 study rooms that are reservable via LibCal. This allows patrons to book space without needing staff support.
Library staff reserve these spaces on behalf of patrons for event reservation accommodations or special study periods (e.g., class testing accommodations). During the Final Exam period, study room reservation is turned off and all rooms are managed on a walk-up basis.
