Meeting Spaces

Guidelines for Use: Seminar Room

The Seminar Room exists primarily for classes, seminars, workshops, presentations, programs, and training sessions provided by a member of the library staff or sponsored by the library. When not in use for these purposes, the room serves as an open study space for Musselman Library patrons. Other campus departments and groups are encouraged to request use of the room, within the guidelines, including short-term use only, not for semester-long courses or regularly scheduled meetings, with priority given to library instruction use.

 

To make a reservation for the Seminar Room, contact Paul Weaver, Research Librarian,(weaverp@bluffton.edu; 419-358-3448).

The Nord Room also features rotating book collections, available for checkout.
