Johns Hopkins launched a new system this spring called 25Live to manage room reservations across campus, including group study rooms in Brody. 25Live is a complex system, but if you set up some options in your account the first time you use it, you will find it easy to use in the future.
NOTE: From now until MSE Library closes for the renovation, group study rooms in that building are first-come first served on a walk-in basis. When MSE Library reopens after the renovation, these policies will apply to the new group study rooms in that building as well.
To reserve a group study room, visit the Room Reservations page on the library website.
Policies
- The availability window is 48 hours from the current time, rolling over every hour.
- You may book 4 reservations per week, with a total of 8 hours per week.
- You may book a room for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- Your bookings are limited to a total of two hours each.
Additional room guidelines
- Reservations have priority over walk-ins.
- Groups of two or more patrons get priority over one person.
- J-card swipe is required for entry.
- If a room is not occupied within the first 10 minutes of the reservation block, the room is then free for all groups to use.
- The reservation system cannot do a transfer of a reservation to another user.
- Students can’t reserve non-group study rooms (such as BLC 4040 and BLC 50150/17), but may use them when they are not being used by library staff.
