Noise Reminders from Zief Law Library

Posted on by Suzanne Mawhinney

Final Exam Season is upon us and with that comes plenty of preparation, stress, and excitement. We’re in the home stretch. The Zief Law Library is here to help and support you through it all and we have a variety of study spaces to meet your needs.

Silent Areas:

We know that sometimes you really need to buckle down and focus on your work and the slightest noises really throw you off your game. We’ve designated Club ’59, a large silent study room on the upper-floor, just for you.

Just look for this sign:

Library sign stating, "This is a Silent study area." It has an open blue book with the words "Focused", "Silent", and "Unplugged".
You’ll see this poster in areas designated as a Silent study area.

Quiet Areas:

If silent study isn’t your thing, please choose a different area to study so your quieter classmates can get things done. There are other areas of the library that are still quiet but where your classmates won’t be bothered by the occasional clickety-clack of your keyboard or whispered exam tips from your study buddy.   These spaces can be found on the library’s upper floor.

Just look for this sign:

Library sign stating, "This is a Quiet study area." It has an open yellow book with the words "Respectful", "Few Distractions", "Getting Stuff Done", and "In Your Own World".
You’ll see this poster in areas designated as a Quiet study area.

Conversation Areas:

We understand that sometimes you want to work in groups or you just need a break from all of the quiet awesomeness that is happening in other areas of the library to catch up with your friends.  These spaces can be found on both the main and lower floors of the library.

If you see this sign, you know you’re in the right place:

Library sign stating, "This is a conversation study area." It has an open red book with the words "Teaming Up", "Brainstorming", "Planning", "Troubleshooting", and "Discussions".
You’ll see this poster in areas designated as a conversation study area.

 

The bottom line is that there is a place for everyone here at Zief.  We invite you to find a great study spot that fits your needs.
