Students: Use a Study Room for your Interview
Individual study rooms in McGoogan Library are available for you to use for interviews that will last longer than the four-hour reservation time limit. If you require a longer reservation, please email the library. In your request, please provide:
- Dates
- Start and end times
- Room or Floor Preference
- Please see a list of all available rooms in the room reservation system list "UNMC Reserve Library Student Study Space (Omaha)" or in the maps below.
We want you to feel as comfortable as possible during your interview and will try to reserve your preferred space. When you arrive, stop by the AskUs desk to pick up a “do not disturb” sign. We appreciate as much advanced notice as possible and cannot guarantee an available room for late requests.
If you do not arrange to use a room for more than four hours, you may be asked to vacate a room to honor another student’s reservation.
