Olin Library Carrel Users

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to present information about the users of Olin Library study carrels and reading rooms. This work was request by Michelle Eastman, on behalf of Anne Kenney, Interim University Librarian. This information will be used for internal CUL purposes, specifically to help Anne prepare for discussion and informational meetings with faculty ?advisors? and other user groups about possible configurations of faculty studies, carrels, graduate study rooms, and other spaces in the context of Olin Library?s upcoming renovation. This report contains: a discussion of the issues related to CUL?s locked carrels; a discussion about the counts of faculty and graduate students; tables that present the counts of graduate students and counts of faculty, and a brief list of resources and a few related highlights from the library literature.
