Library Resources and Services for Faculty: Library Spaces

This guide provides information about Luria Library resources and services available to SBCC faculty.

Library Spaces for Faculty Use

Faculty may reserve the following Library spaces by scheduling an event in the 25Live Event and Room Scheduling system (see the Scheduling with 25Live FAQ for more information).

Contact Library Faculty at library@sbcc.edu for more information about Library spaces.

Library Faculty Study (L 137)

Capacity: 15

conference table with chairs around it with windows next to it and large screen on the far wall

The Library Faculty Study is available for faculty and staff to conduct personal study, prepare materials, meet with students, or have a quiet space. It can also be used for committees or faculty-led groups, other than regularly scheduled classes. Faculty members must be present when students are using the Study.

Seating and Technology

  • a large conference table that can seat 10-15 people, plus a few armchairs around the room
  • a Mac computer with a large wall screen and webcam

Reservations

Faculty and staff may request the Library Faculty Study no more than one semester in advance, by scheduling an event through 25Live. 

Library Classroom (L 146)

Capacity: 50

classroom with tables and chairs facing a large screen and whiteboard on the far wall

The Library Classroom is primarily used for research and information literacy workshops taught by Library faculty, but may be used by others when the room is available.

Seating and Technology

  • wheeled tables (each seating 2 people) and stackable chairs allow for a variety of configurations
  • a teaching station with a PC with webcam, large screen and projector, and Ladybug document projector
  • two large whiteboards at each end of the room
  • Chromebooks can be reserved when reserving the room

Reservations

Requests for use of L 146 that do not involve research/information literacy instruction may be made no more than one week in advance, by scheduling an event through 25Live. If you would like to reserve Chromebooks for use during your event, be sure to request them as a "Resource" in 25Live.

To schedule research/information literacy instruction, contact Ellen Carey as far in advance as possible (see the Research and Information Literacy Instruction page of this guide for more information). 

Note: In the last two weeks of each semester, students, as well as faculty and staff, may reserve the room for groups of 8 or more, through the Library's Group Study Room reservation system rather than through 25Live.

Library Main Floor

Capacity: 150

large open area with reference and information desk in the middle and tables, chairs, and study carrels around it

The Library Main Floor includes a variety of study areas (study carrels, tables and chairs, soft seating), a computer lab, printing and scanning stations, the Checkout Desk, a central Reference & Information desk, and a large open space near the entrance, which is used for book displays, exhibits, and activities. 

Events may be requested even when the Library is closed.

Reservations

To arrange for an exhibit or display, or to request use of the Library after hours, contact the Library Department Chair at library@sbcc.edu.
