Library staff can now read the C-MACS report on Fondren’s pilot project to limit access during a portion of Finals to Rice users only (plone login required):

Just as a reminder, after analysis of all of the data, the Executive Committee, in consultation with C-MACS, has decided NOT to close Fondren to the outside public during the spring semester. We will, however, reconfigure KMR into a study hall, and have a series of vibrant events to support students during the Finals time.
Thanks for the interest! We are working on an article, and hope to get it published sometime later in the year. We will keep you posted!
Such a cool project–especially the GIS portion! Perhaps the makings of a poster or journal article?
