Reserve a Library Study Room

Choose your Space • 

Need a place to take an online test? Does your study group need a quiet place to work? Archer Library's online study room reservation system provides opportunity for you to book a study room on the 2nd (201), 4th (401), or 5th (501 & 502) floor. 

Select a Room & Time • 

Why make a reservation? A reservation guarantees the study room is available to you at the scheduled time. Patrons using a study room without making a reservation may be asked to vacate. 

Study room occupied? 

If the room you have reserved is occupied, go to the circulation desk or Instructional Resource Center and report the problem. Online reservations take precedence; we can verify the space is available to you. 

Check in to your reserved space • 

Reservations are cancelled after fifteen minutes to open the room for use. Be sure to check in when you arrive, claiming your space.

They're baaaack!

With main floor construction complete, our fifth floor study rooms (501 and 502) are once again available for student use.

ProQuest eBook Central

DEI e-book collection

In 2021, the State Library of Ohio awarded American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to OhioLINK for the purchase of a shared collection of unlimited-user, perpetual-access Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) e-books. 

A project team of OhioLINK member librarians selected 163 e-books in total to form the collection. The Phase 2 set of 81 additional titles is now available in the ProQuest Ebook Central platform.

About the ARPA Collection 

"This collection allows all OhioLINK member libraries to have access to a base e-book collection in this important and under-resourced area for learning and research. These e-books also could be used as teaching materials to introduce students to a diversity of voices that otherwise might not be available to them." -  OhioLINK, 12/27/23
