Ever try to meet up with your friends for a group study session on a night when D. H. Hill is filled to the brim? Mission impossible.

We have a solution.

D. H. Hill Library has a new tool to help you plan and find your study groups. GroupFinder lets the coordinator of a group post the name and location–Chem 223 exam study @ 4th Floor Group Study–and then the other members of the group can check GroupFinder when they get to the library.

GroupFinder is available on a computer kiosk in first floor lobby, and on the library’s e-boards and on the web.

GroupFinder arose from conversations library staff had with students about the challenges of arranging group study sessions in D. H. Hill Library. The library is often too crowded for a group to pick a location in advance—the spot will probably already be taken. Last-minute coordination can be tricky as well, due to spotty cell phone reception. So that leaves many groups waiting at the entrance for every person in the group to show up.

GroupFinder lets students locate a space, post their location, and then get to work. Latecomers can check the digital signs, the kiosk in the lobby, or the web to find out where their group is.

Give Groupfinder a try.
