Coffee and Donuts with the Research Community

Beginning in September, OIT, in conjunction with the Division of Research and Economic Development and Albertsons Library, will host a community event for researchers and their graduate assistants on a monthly basis.

Please join us on the first Thursday of each month at the Environmental Research Building (ERB), first floor conference room and atrium from 9 am – 11 am. The forum will include brief presentations of resources, support and contact information provided by the Research Computing Department, the Library, and the Division of Research and Economic Development, at 9 am and then again at 10 am.

In between presentations, coffee, tea and donuts are available as well as opportunities for introductions to other university researchers.

Reserve me! http://goo.gl/6EsfO6

Based on student feedback, Albertsons Library has increased the number of group study rooms that can be reserved by students.

The six study rooms, located on all four floors of the library can be reserved via the online reservation form, or students can continue to place reservations at the Circulation or CRC (2nd floor) Desk.

Rooms can be reserved by current Boise State students for 3 hours at a time, 2 reservations a week, and 1 week in advance.

In addition, faculty, staff, and graduate students can reserve private study rooms on the 4th floor. Two rooms, 401 K and 401 L, are small study rooms with one desk and chair.

These offices are ideal for working in a quiet space, away from interruptions. These rooms can be reserved for 8 hours at a time, 3 time slots a week, 1 month in advance. Keys to the room must be checked out at the Circulation Desk. Reservations can be made via our online form, or at the Circulation and CRC Desks.

Other study rooms on the 3rd and 4th floor are first-come first-served. Visit the library’s Library Space page to learn more about the various study and collaborative spaces in the building.
