Looking for a place to work? Come to class in the Library!

Man in Blue Shirt Having a Virtual MeetingMany students take classes online, or take hybrid classes, and the CSM Library is a great place to attend your virtual classes. Here are some tips for using the Library while you're taking your online classes:

  • Be mindful of the people around you. Many students use the library as a quiet study space, so be sure to use headphones and be aware of your speaking volume if you plan on using a microphone to participate in your courses.
  • Library desktop computers are available to use for your classes but our computers do not have webcams, microphones, or external speakers (headphones required). You are welcome to use your own USB devices on library computers to accommodate your classes.
  • The CSM Library has free wifi and outlets throughout the building. If you're having trouble finding an outlet or accessing wifi, please ask library staff for help.
  • Don't forget your headphones. Be sure to use headphones when attending class online, or when listening or viewing class materials. You can bring your own headphones or check out a pair of headphones at the Library circ desk for free.
  • Don't be shy - ask for help! Our library staff is onsite during open hours to help answer your questions about the library, or hop on chat anytime during open hours if there's something you're wondering about. We're so happy to help!
