Reservation priority is given to Library instruction sessions that focus on the subject areas of the Life & Health Sciences Division: the Division of Biological Sciences, the College of Natural Resources, the School of Public Health, and the School of Optometry.

Room 2189 is not available for regular class scheduling.

During heavy instruction periods (e.g., early- to mid-semester), we may need to limit advance reservations. Although we wish to be accommodating, Library instruction has priority.
