Zoom Room Guidelines

UMA Libraries Zoom Room Guidelines

Purpose:

UMA Libraries has two “Zoom Rooms” reserved for patrons to use during synchronous class sessions. One is located in Katz Library 104 (Augusta) and the other is located in Nottage Library - Belfast Hall 110 (Bangor).

Students who do not live on campus, yet are taking a combination of live in-person and live online classes may find them especially useful.

The rooms are “first come, first served” unless booked. UMA-affiliated patrons have priority of Zoom Room use over public. Public patrons have a max duration of 2 hours of room use per day. To use a Zoom Room, inquire at the Circulation Desk.

Guidelines for use of a Zoom Room include:

Users should not leave personal belongings or library technology unattended in the Zoom Room. Users are responsible for their own belongings and anything borrowed from the library, including headphones, laptops, and iPads.
When using a Zoom Room, users should be courteous to other patrons by maintaining reasonable speaking and video sound levels, and keeping the room clean by removing trash and furniture should be returned to its original place.
Users should be respectful of time and make sure they allow other patrons time to book each week.

Depending on availability, these rooms may also be used for personal or group study. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of Library Staff.
