Is there an area for silent study in UCC library?

Answer

Almost all reading rooms in the Boole library and all reading rooms in Brookfield are for silent study (red zones). An exception on Q+1 is the reading room where the books are; in this space (amber zone) you can whisper briefly.

 

RED     : Silence, No talking

 

AMBER: Minimal noise, Whisper

 

GREEN: Groupwork, Quiet Conversation

 

In red zones:

  • You can use keyboards and devices.
  • Please keep phones on silent and leave the reading room to make or receive calls.  
  • Keep the volume low on headphones, so it does not disturb others. 

If you need to talk in a group, there are bookable Group Study Rooms (minimum 3 people) and Study Pods (1-4 people) for group work.  The Creative Zone on Q floor is available for group study/collaborative work, no booking required.  The News Commons just in the main entrance in Boole Library can also be used.
