Instructions on how to reserve Team study rooms and Individual carrels.

If you cannot get into a reserved study room, call 232 002 981 or contact a library staff member.
For Polytechnic Workshop call 232 002 586.

Reservation System - Team Study Rooms

Teamwork rooms (floors four to six) are ideal for group projects, study, and research. They are equipped with electrical outlets, data ports, flipcharts, and white boards.

The only thing we kindly ask for is to respect maximum room capacity. Do not modify room furnishings in any way (i.e., remove chairs, bring in more chairs, etc.).

Reservation time

The minimum amount of time required to make a reservation is one hour. You can make longer reservations for a half-day, day or week, depending on your needs and availability.

Cost

If you are a student, professor, graduate student, or researcher from a Czech university or from the Czech Academy of Science, the fee is 30 CZK/hour. We charge a fee to ensure reservations are used.

If you are from another organization and have longer-term needs, please discuss your request with our Event and Conference Services team.

How to reserve

You can reserve room by using our online reservation system or asking for assistance at a service desk.

Newly registered users and users with a newly registered ID chip card can reserve study rooms one hour after they register/or register their new ID chip card (due to time delays in updating library systems).

Reservation System - Individual Carrels

In case of problems, questions, or suggestions, please contact the librarians at the Information Desk on Floor 1 or 2 (during the Patron services hours), or let us know at info@techlib.cz.

Only Patrons in designated patron groups are authorised to use carrels, depending on the period for which the rental is required (winter semester, summer semester or summer period). The minimum rental period of one day applies equally to all patron groups and individual carrels (see the table below).

Carrel rentals may only be arranged through the online reservation system (see How to Reserve a Carrel Online).

  1. Log in to your User Account at NTK.
  2. Make sure (under My account page) that your Patron Group makes you eligible for the rental of carrels and that your registration is valid for the period of the planned rental.
  3. Make sure you have a sufficient credit for the reservation on your Patron´s Financial Account (see the Payment system link under your account). In case of insufficient funds, deposit the required amount into your account online or at the NTK cash desk on Floor 1.  
  4. On the main NTK website, click on “Individual Carrels” and then on the blue box labeled “New Reservation System – Individual Carrels/Workshop”. You will be redirected to the new reservation system called NTK Reservator. 
  5. Make sure you have the Individual Carrels tab selected under the NTK Reservator heading. 
  6. You can start selecting available carrels on offer and adding them to your cart one by one. You can also select a future date on the calendar. Crossed out carrels are already occupied. Always double-check the dates for which you are looking to reserve Individual Carrels, as it is not possible to have more than 1 Individual Carrel reserved per day. 
  7. Once you have finished selecting individual carrels, click “Go to Cart”.
  8. You can remove incorrectly selected carrels from your cart before submitting your reservation. 
  9. Before submitting your reservation, you must tick the black box to confirm that you agree to the General Rules for the Use of Individual Carrels.
  10. Then click on “Submit reservation”. 
  11. At this point, your reservation is complete, and you can proceed to make further reservations (“New reservations”) or edit the reservations already made (“Go to order detail”).
  12. Payment for completed reservations will be deducted from your financial account immediately. However, if you cancel a reservation more than 24 hours before its scheduled start time, the amount will be refunded to your NTK financial account.
  13. You can view all your reservations at any time via the “Reservations overview” button.

In case of Individual Carrel rental for Patrons with disabilities (carrels no. 7 and 21), the Patron must present (upon request, while using the carrel) documentation proving his/her disability (e.g., a Czech social security disability document, another proof of disability, a disability Insurance card, or a medical report).

You can check your Patron/User group after logging in to your NTK account on the Main account page. Your Patron group may be changed on providing the relevant documentation at the Information desks on Floors 1 or 2 during Patron services hours.
