The Library Service Desk supervisor will open the Presentation Studio door for you. If you need assistance, we are available to help with the setup. Please check out the light and TV remotes from the Library Service Desk. Feel free to hang the “Recording” door hanger on the outside doorknob to avoid being disturbed. Users are responsible for the equipment while using the room. No food or drinks are allowed in the room.
