For access to a study room, bring your JU ID to Circulation to check out a key. Users are encouraged to review study room policies before checking one out.
The Library has ample tables, soft seating, moveable whiteboards, and collaborative tables with technology for group study. Whiteboard markers and erasers may be checked out at Circulation.

Our course reserves collection is a collection of class textbooks and readings provided by professors. Materials in this collection are checked out for use within the library for short periods of time. Course reserves are available during staffed library hours.
Printing and copying is available in the IT-maintained computer lab on the main level of the Library.
Students are able to print 50 black-and-white pages for free each fall and spring semester. Printing credits are loaded automatically to your Dolphin Card at the start of the term. Once you've exhausted your printing credits, you will automatically be charged for additional printed pages. Please note that unused credits will not roll over into subsequent semesters.
Users can pay for prints using Dolphin Dollars. The Library does not accept any other form of payment for printing and copying.
