Regulations for long-term studios for personal use

Studios are for use by University of Groningen students and staff only.

Long-term studios are primarily intended for users who are working on research projects requiring intensive use of the library and its collections.

Long-term studios are normally allocated for a period of one calendar week (Monday - Friday). This period can be extended if there are sufficient studios available, but this is not guaranteed. You will have to submit a new request to this end.

The user will receive a key to the studio for personal use only. If a user loses the key, they will have to pay a € 30 compensation fee.

You can collect the key from the UB Facility Desk on showing your library card or a valid proof of identity. The key must be handed in at the end of the day.

The studio is inspected by you and a staff member of the Facility Desk on the first and the last day of use. You will be held liable for repair costs if you damage any UB property.

The studios have the same opening hours as the reading rooms in which they are located.

If you want to use materials from the reading room collection in your studio, please register those works at the lending desk. Not-for-loan material from the reading room collections, such as reference works, journals and source materials, must be placed back on the shelves by the end of the day. Reading room staff may inspect the studios from time to time.

The windows and doors of the studios may not be blacked out.

It is forbidden to smoke, and the use of equipment such as radios inside the studios is not allowed.

The UB will not be liable for any loss of or damage to material that is present in the studios during the period of use.

UB staff have access to the studios for inspection purposes and in the event of a calamity.

Cleaning staff have access to the studios.
