This study area is provided for the use of UAF students for individual or small group research and study. It is not intended as a completely quiet study area; non-talking areas are available in the library on floors 5 and 6. Group study rooms are available in the library on the 3rd and 5th floors for larger discussion groups. We ask that all users respect other users’ needs and keep unnecessary talking, socialization, and other distractions to a minimum. This space is also not intended as a living space; personal belongings such as sleeping bags, tents, or other large items should not be spread out in this area, but instead should be stowed in lockers available near the library’s south entrance.
