The Library Multi-purpose room may be used by University employees or guests accompanied by an employee for purposes related to an employee's official responsibilities. It may also be used by off-campus organizations for nonprofit purposes, provided that the specific use is sponsored by a University department or University-related organization as part of its official function. NDSU Libraries makes the Multi-purpose meeting room available on an equitable basis regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of the individuals or groups requesting its use. The Multi-purpose Room will not be booked more than 24 hours in advance for non-library classes during the first month of each semester (i.e. September and January). Only classes scheduled by library instruction staff will be scheduled during this time. Regular scheduling of the Multi-purpose Room may resume in October and February for the rest of the semester. The purpose of this policy is to ensure the Library Instruction staff has adequate access to a suitable classroom during their heaviest class-load time of the semester.
The Multi-Purpose room is not a university classroom. Therefore, classes will not be scheduled in this room regularly (i.e., Monday-Wednesday-Friday classes for three consecutive weeks or a Tuesday class meeting one hour each week for a full or part of a semester). In special circumstances, exemptions to this policy may be granted by the Library Director or the Associate Director.
The room must be reserved in advance through the Circulation Department. Room reservations will be made on a first come, first serve basis - subject to the above policies. NDSU Libraries staff member will not divulge to other prospective users the name or affiliation of groups using the facilities.
Eating or drinking is not allowed except under special circumstances.
Any unusual circumstances related to the use of the Multi-purpose room are to be referred to the Associate Director.
