Gast Business Library Spaces Room Policy

• Reservations are required using the online Reservation System. No phone or in-person reservations. 
• Only faculty, staff and students with a current MSU ID and active NetID may reserve rooms. 
• Check in at the Circulation Desk before occupying your room to avoid being counted as a no-show. You must show your MSU ID at this point.
• Cancel your reservation if the room is not needed. Otherwise, you will be marked as a no-show and subject to being blocked from reserving any rooms.
• Room reservations will be held for 15 minutes and then released.
• Rooms must be vacated at the end of the reservation period.
• You may not use someone else's information to reserve or extend time with a room. Your reservation will be cancelled. We check IDs with every reservation. 
• Reservations are limited to 2 hours (3 hours for the pods) per person per day. You may contact the library if you have a special need requiring longer use. Your request will be considered on a case by case basis at their discretion.
• Individuals and groups up to 10 people may use the rooms (except for the Collaborative Technology Lab which is limited to 15).
• Group rooms' use is intended for individual and group study. Other uses will be considered on a case by case basis at their discretion. You must contact the library to request any other use.
• Please return all checked out materials to the Circulation Desk when you are done using them. There are significant overdue penalties if all materials are not returned. You may also be charged replacement fees.
• The person that checks out the room and equipment is responsible for any missing or damaged equipment or any damage to the room and furniture.
• No tobacco use including e-cigarettes, loud noise, or other inappropriate behavior in the rooms.
• Rooms must be left clean and tidy.
• Rooms left vacant will be reassigned.
• Please check the room before you leave to be sure you have all your personal belongings. The Gast Business Library is not responsible for belongings left in vacated rooms. Belongings found in vacated rooms may be claimed that day at the Circulation Desk. Thereafter, items may be sent to the Law Library or DPPS.
• All groups must vacate the group study rooms by ½ hour prior to the closing of the Gast Business Library.
• The person reserving the room is responsible for the actions of the group. Abuse of rules may cause forfeiture of future privileges for the person reserving the room and/or the entire group.
• Business Library staff have priority use and may cancel reservations if necessary.
