The primary use of the Library Computer Classroom is for library instruction and training classes taught by library staff at HCC. For the majority of the semester, the room is actively used by librarians for this purpose. It cannot be reserved weeks in advance, or on a semester or weekly basis, due to rolling signups and the consistent flow of library instruction sessions. By necessity, there are blocked off time periods when the classroom is unavailable.
