Contact: Library Services

The PLC is reserved for academic study and collaboration purposes. All spaces are reserved for student, faculty, and staff use, accordingly:

Open Spaces
The open spaces on all 3 floors of the PLC may not be used for any purposes other than academic study and collaboration. No other meetings, events, gatherings, or proceedings are permitted.

At the Library Director’s discretion, the 3rd Floor Tower Room may be used for academic meetings/receptions. These reservations must be approved in advance and must be sponsored by a faculty member/advisor.

The 2nd floor is always a ‘Quiet Floor’ and no activities are permitted except library specific programming.

For special campus-wide events, designated areas in the PLC may be used by administrative departments with advance scheduled reservation; e.g. Homecoming and Colloquium Day. However, these events shall not prevent students from using the PLC for study related purposes.

Collaboration Studios
The PLC has collaboration studios on each floor that may be used for group study, meetings, or other gatherings. Collaboration studios in the PLC are available for use to the entire Jewell community.

Reservations can be made in advance via the Crestron Room Management system at the door using the reservation panel or through an Outlook calendar.

The larger 1st floor collaboration rooms may be reserved in advance with approval from the Director of Teaching and Learning Technologies.
Requests for any exceptions must be made in advance through the Department of Library Services by contacting Rebecca Hamlett at hamlettr@william.jewell.edu or Peter Johnson at johnsonp@william.jewell.edu and will be at their discretion.
