Nine small, locked studies in the basement level of Burling
Library are available for assignment on a one-semester,
two-semester, or summer basis. Needs for which these studies
are an appropriate form of faculty support include substantial
research projects that require heavy use of the library's
collection or a place, free from interruption, in which
to write. The studies are not intended to serve as supplementary
faculty offices. Computer connections are available in all
studies, but telephones are never permitted.
Assignment of the faculty studies is made by the Librarian
of the College. Applications should take the form of a brief,
specific letter or message to the Librarian of the College,
stating the purpose for which the study is requested. Application
deadlines are: September 1 (fall semester), December 20
(spring semester), and May 10 (summer). Assignments are
made on the basis of the merit and appropriateness of the
purpose for which the study is sought. Whenever space permits,
renewal applications are given serious consideration. The
extent to which a faculty study has been used during earlier
assignment(s) plays the major role in evaluating renewal
requests.
Questions concerning the faculty studies should be directed
to the Librarian of the College.
