Tired of being disturbed while you are attending class or taking an exam online in your room? Or maybe you want to let the others on your floor know that you are just relaxing and free to chat? The LCIZ Makerspace has created Customizable Door Signs that can be used to convey your message!
The first 50 people to stop in the LCIZ during open hours will receive their own Customizable Door Sign Kit, provided they are following the UConn LCIZ on Instagram and YouTube.

The FYP&LC Podcast, "My First Year Story," will follow the journey of a first year student as they have insightful conversations with members of UConn Nation about their first years of college.
Witty and engaging, the podcast will provide a snapshot of what it's like to be a first year student at the University of Connecticut and how we are all connected by the shared experience of going to college, learning, growing, and making mistakes along the way.

Reserving Study Space in Storrs
Students at the Storrs campus can book seats on Levels 1, B, and Plaza of the Homer Babbidge Library via an online reservation system using their NetID. Library space at the regional campuses will be available on a first-come, first-served basis until further notice.
- In the reservation system, students can choose a seat that will be numbered and named according to where it is in the building. The system will show whether the seat has a PC, Mac, and/or access to a power outlet.
- Reservations can be made for two-hour blocks, with the option to renew once for a total time of up to four hours.
- When students arrive to their seat, they will check in using a QR code to ensure the seat will not be returned into the system for others to use.
- Students are advised to bring headphones so they don’t disturb others.
-
Further details and the reservation system are available at lib.uconn.edu.
