Classroom Management

Classrooms

For Circulation policy information, please refer to the Circulation wiki Classrooms page

Overview

Multiple, but not all, aspects of the classrooms are managed by the Classroom Coordinator. Unlike some of the other spaces in Valley Library, classroom management is a cooperative effort between multiple departments. Areas of classroom management include:

Reservations
Electronic lock management
Circulation of key cards
Technology
Signage
Policy

Additionally, because each classroom serves a different need, how management responsibilities are assigned is unique to each classroom. While there is some crossover, there are also many differences. Understanding how a classroom is used makes it easier to understand how it is managed. To see a detailed breakdown of how each room is managed, please refer to the (insert link here) Classrooms page in this wiki space.
