## Library Group Study Room Policies

- Reservations can be made by Johns Hopkins students.
- Only Hopkins affiliates are permitted entry to library buildings.
- The availability window is 48 hours from the current time, rolling over every hour.
- Maximum duration for a booking is 2 hours, once per day.
- You may book up to 4 reservations per week.

## Additional room guidelines

- Reservations have priority over walk-ins.
- J-card swipe is required for entry.
- If a room is not occupied within the first 10 minutes of the reservation block, the room is then free for walk-in use.
- Students can’t reserve a small number of larger rooms (such as BLC 4040), but may use them when they are not being used by library staff.

### Troubleshooting Tips

- Ensure you are booking within the 48-hour booking window
- If you have exceeded 4 reservations in the past week, wait until the restriction window passes

   \
   **Note**: If you choose more than 2 hours 25Live will change your selection to 2 hours.\
   **Note**: If the cursor does not allow you to select a time slot, it is because it is more than 48 hours in the future or the room is otherwise unavailable.

   \
   **Note**: Never select “Open in Form.”
4. Click “Save,” and your reservation will be complete with no approval required.\
