Group Study

There are five group study rooms and one computer lab/classroom that are available for group or class use in the Matas Library.  Library seminars or curriculum-related events receive scheduling priority.  Each group study room is equipped with a whiteboard, network connections, table and chairs.  A single projector for use with computers is available for the study rooms (in library use only).   Please reserve during Monday - Friday, 8:30am - 5:30pm.   The projector and Lab are not available for reservations on the weekend. 

Two of the group study rooms are located on the 2nd floor of the Library in the 24/7 area,  Rm 2228 (6-8 people) or Rm.2230 (10-12 people).  Three additional group study rooms are located on the Mezzanine, Rooms M201 (4-6 people) and  M203 (4-6 people) and M205 (4-6 people).

The Mezzanine Computer Lab/Classroom (M207) is for hands-on computer usage and accommodates up to 18 people with individual computer access.   Library Classes and Seminars take precedence over other classroom use.

To reserve a room 24 hours in advance you may:

  • Call the Matas Information Services Desk Monday-Friday from 8am-6pm at (504)988-2403
  • Email at medcirc@tulane.edu

Please abide by the room use and reservation policies:

Rooms may be scheduled, for a block of up to three hours for groups of three (3) or more, at the Information Services Desk at least a day prior to the requested time.

  • Curriculum-related events take precedence over individual use of the conference rooms.
  • Groups always take precedence over individual use of the conference rooms.
  • Groups with reservations take precedence over groups without.
  • Unreserved conference rooms are available on a first come first serve basis.
  • If a group fails to show up within fifteen minutes of its reservation or leaves the room unattended for more than fifteen minutes, use of the room is forfeited.
  • Do not leave personal items in a group study area when you leave the room.  Your items may be moved if others need this area.  It is risky to leave laptops and bags in an unsupervised area for even a short period.  The Library is not responsible for personal items left unmonitored anywhere within the Library.
