Around 5pm on September 1, a patch will be applied to resolve an issue which prevents updates to the OSUL website. No noticeable downtime is expected.
This evening at 5:00pm there will be some brand new changes to the Room Reservation system. Some changes are changed specifically for Thompson Library.
A new service will be piloted at the Thompson Library this fall, offering students the ability to reserve group study rooms in Thompson on the same day. The seven rooms on the ground floor of Thompson will be incorporated into the pilot, which will run through autumn semester. Room information is available at go.osu.edu/THO. The page also provides information on the number of computers available at Thompson at any given moment.
- Requests made to the Thompson Library group study rooms will be automatically approved if information provided is correct:
- Email addresses are in the osu.edu or buckeyemail.osu.edu format
- The number of participants are at least as much as the minimum occupancy for the room but not more than the maximum capacity for the room.
- Thompson Library now supports same day, same hour reservations. If there is a room available today, you no longer have to wait 24 hours before using the room. Simply schedule the room whenever it’s available!
- Statistics will be available for administrators that shows the number of students requesting same day reservations and the number of students reserving reservations in advanced.
Some additional changes are in effect for all libraries as well:
- Students will be able to schedule multiples times in a day as long as they don’t reserve multiple reservations for a single day. This fixes a bug that prevents users from scheduling more than one reservations at one time.
- Reservation titles are automatically generated. It will be in the form: reservation # – name.# of the user making the reservation.
