Booking Eligibility and Guidelines


To become eligible, follow these two steps:

  1. Register with the Office for Persons with Disabilities, Needles Hall, room 1132.
  2. Contact Janet Wason, Dana Porter Library, room 251C to arrange for an orientation session on using the Centre.

To book a workstation, follow these two steps:

  1. Check the daily schedule for availability - web or print (outside room 217A).
  2. Book a free spot in one of three ways:
    1. e-mail Janet Wason
    2. call her at (519) 888-4567 extension 33012, or
    3. leave a message under her door (room 251C)

Seven Important Details about Booking:

  1. Be willing to switch, take a break, or shorten your stay if others are in need of a workstation.
  2. Book as far in advance as you wish. Bookings for the entire term will be reviewed after a month.
  3. You may book for 4 hours per day per person. Longer times are possible with a recommendation from your AccessAbility Services advisor.
  4. If you are 10 minutes late you lose your booking for that hour's slot and another eligible user can "take over" the workstation. If you're not there by 10 minutes past the second hour, you will lose the rest of your booking.
  5. If you can't make your booking let Janet Wason know so the schedule can be updated.
  6. You can be 'bumped' at any time if your workstation is needed for an exam.
  7. Please report any problems to Janet Wason.
