Every floor of the Goddard Library has study spaces.  The second and third floor are collaborative work areas, while the fourth and fifth floors are for silent study.  

There are a number of rooms that can be booked in advance, and can be used for private study or group work.  The following video will help you navigate this process.

Computers are available on the second, third, and fifth floors.  Click here to find a list of software available on these computers.

On the second floor, there is a color printer and combination black and white printer/scanner.  There are additional black and white printers on the second, third and fifth floors.

Instructions for printing, printing allocations, and more, can be found here.

The Academic Commons is located on the first floor of the Goddard Library, and has a number of offices, including the Academic Support Center, the Writing Center, the IT Helpdesk, the Archives and Special Collections, and a cafe!

The Academic Commons is open later hours to give students a space to meet and gather.  Find hours for the Library and Academic Commons here.
