"Graduate Student Council Library Rooms"


On the west end of floors 2 through 5 in the D. H. Hill Library's 
new addition are four locked, group-use rooms.  These 
facilities, already well known to a few, are controlled by the 
Graduate Student Council and available to all currently 
enrolled graduate students at NCSU.  Each of the four rooms 
can comfortably accommodate from four to a dozen users at a 
time.  Each is furnished for a different purpose.  On the second 
floor the GSC has provided four computers (2 Mac SEs and two 
DOS clones) and two laser printers; word-processing and 
spreadsheet programs are mounted on the machines and 
connectivity to the campus network is available.  The third-
floor room contains group study tables with seating for 
twelve, while the fourth-floor room is furnished with six 
individual study carrels.  The fifth-floor room provides 
lounge-type seating for nine.

These rooms are always kept locked.  Any currently enrolled 
NCSU graduate student is welcome to check out a key to the 
rooms for four hours at the lower circulation desk in the D. H. 
Hill Library.  No reservations for any of the rooms can be made; 
use is strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.  The fine 
for failing to return a key on time is $3 per day.
