UAB Libraries patrons can now use the LibCal Mapping Module to view interactive maps and reserve spaces in Mervyn Sterne Library and Lister Hill Library of the Health Sciences.
Users can visit libcal.library.uab.edu/maps or use the Maps tile in the Library Mobile app to see currently available, reserved and unavailable single-person study spaces, group study rooms and seminar rooms in UAB Libraries’ facilities. Sterne’s first floor is home to group study rooms and seminar rooms, while its third floor primarily houses single-person study rooms. Lister Hill’s first floor contains both group and single-person study rooms available for booking, with a conference room space available for booking on the second.
“We hope this improves the overall user experience in finding rooms and study spaces easily,” said Danielle Hassan, systems librarian for UAB Libraries.
To see the availability status of a space, users can enter their desired booking time and use the color-coded legend to determine what options are open, then book directly online.
