Title

Rush Rhees Library: Reserve Reading Room (1930)

Date

1930

Description

The Reserve Reading Room provided study space for students using assigned course materials. From 1930 to 1970, the Reserve Reading Room was located on the first floor of Rush Rhees Library, opposite the Welles-Brown Room. That space, now the Hawkins-Carlson Room, was used for the reference librarians and later for the offices of inter-library loan.

In 1970, the Reserve Reading Room was relocated to the ground floor of the Library. Between 1970 and 2018, the space evolved from a Reserve Reading Room to the Computing Library and Resources Center (CLARC) to the Information Technology Services (ITS) Center.
