Patrons and users are responsible for the following:

• Upon arrival, inform the student worker that you have a scheduled booking.
• Arrive within 30 minutes of your booking time or the reservation is forfeited, and the room becomes available for others on a first-come, first-served basis for the remainder of the reservation period.
• Leave the room in good condition for the next patrons, including resetting the room and placing trash in trash bins.
• You will be billed for repair or replacement for broken, lost, or stolen equipment. Amount of replacement costs are available upon request. Equipment will be assessed upon completion of booking to determine if these costs are necessary.
• Report any problems or issues with the space or equipment a Studio staff member immediately.
• Don’t leave your personal property unattended, including library materials that have been checked out. The Library is not liable for loss/damage to personal property.

Personal Data and Information

• Studios equipment is preloaded with available applications, and temporary storage space is available during your booking. Long-term storage is not guaranteed. We are not responsible for, nor can we recover, lost data.

General Policies

• Reservations are limited to 2 hours total per person, per day but could be extended with special permission from management. Reservations are limited to 6 hours total per person, per week.
• Equipment owned by the University Libraries should not be removed from the Studio without prior approval from management.
• Studios are not intended to provide privacy. Library staff may enter the rooms as needed for security, maintenance, or other reasons.
• Library Management reserves the right to resolve schedule problems by adjusting reservations or schedules.
• To cancel a reservation, login to bookings.lib.vt.edu.
• Patrons need to vacate the bookable Studios promptly at the end of their booking, even if no one is waiting to use the space. This is to help avoid close contact between patrons and allow for the student worker to clean the Studio before the next patron comes in.
• Patrons must follow all directives from library staff, including orders to leave the building in the situation in which the library needs to close early.
• The Studio is open to all patrons of the University Libraries. However, we ask that non-student minors use the studio only while accompanied by a parent or guardian. While we do our best to create safe spaces for patrons, studio staff cannot act as a responsible party for an unaccompanied minor. If you violate this policy, you will be asked to leave.

Repeated violations of these policies could result in administrative action, including – but not limited to – deletion of reservations or removal of an individual’s ability to make Studios reservations.

Please note, Studios’ management does not guarantee the availability of all advertised hardware or software due to unforeseen maintenance. Some advanced equipment may require consultation with the Studio manager before it will be made available.
