Library Careers Program: Notes from Our Interns A Room of One’s Own: Reserve Your Research Space Today by Lexi Chandler One of the resources that the Centennial Library offers is individual and group study rooms. The group study rooms are perfect for projects and presentations that require a lot of brainstorming and collaboration. I’ve even seen groups practicing for debates. They are located upstairs and downstairs in the quiet study areas, and the TV and whiteboards will surely come in handy! The individual study rooms are designed specifically to accommodate all your research needs. Each room has a computer, a comfy chair, and a whiteboard. They are located downstairs in the silent study area for maximum focus. Last year, the library added the video conferencing room. It is available for one to two people at a time. It is located upstairs, near the service desk. Only a desk and chairs are provided, but the soundproofed walls make it an ideal place to practice a presentation or speech or give a job interview. Personally, I like the individual research rooms the best. I find that when writing a paper, I focus best when I’m in a quiet environment by myself. I love drafting my ideas and doing line-by-line editing on the whiteboard. Sometimes, the ideas are just better when written in big, bright, colorful cursive letters, you know? Some of my best papers have been created, wrestled with, and tamed in a research room of my own, and my professors would (hopefully) agree!
