McConnell Library has two Information Literacy Centers (ILCs):
- Information Literacy Center A (ILC A) - Room 350
- Information Literacy Center B (ILC B) - Room 380
- Note: ILC B is McConnell Library’s active learning center. The room contains mobile furniture. To move the tables, you must first unlock the table caster brakes (wheel locks). For safety, re-lock them before use.
Library Instruction
ILCs are primarily used for library instruction. If Librarians need an ILC for a class, this takes precedent over the acceptable room uses listed below.
Study Spaces
When the ILCs are not being used for library instruction, they are open to be used as study spaces for students.
- There must be at least 2 hours between instruction sessions in order to open the ILCs as study spaces.
- The doors to the ILCs must remain open while being used for studying.
- When they are open, ILCs are for group study and multiple groups may use the room at any given time.
- If students are looking for a private study space for their group, they can check out the Media:Scape Study Stations on the third floor (which are reservable).
- When finished using ILCs, students should:
- Log out of the computer
- Exit out of the digital displays
- Clean up after themselves - throw away trash and be sure to collect all belongings
Reservable spaces
After 1) library instruction and 2) study spaces, the ILCs are also used in a limited capacity as reservable spaces:
- The ILCs are booked and managed by the Coordinator of Library Instruction and may be closed at any time at their sole direction.
- Students are not allowed to reserve the ILCs.
- Student groups can have their faculty advisor request a reservation.
- Reservations that are not for librarian led library instruction are not accepted until after week 8 of the fall or spring semesters.
- Faculty interested in utilizing the room for instruction purposes should contact the Head of Research Services, Alyssa Archer aarcher2@radford.edu .
