Yes. Other people may join you in using special collections materials, however please note that you will be seated next to each other at the same table, as it is assumed you will be using the same materials. Please remember that the reading room is considered a quiet space and conversation should be kept at a minimum.

Please note that all patrons accessing the reading room will need a patron account.

If you would like to use materials in a group of more than three people, we recommend emailing our reference account at lib-spec@uiowa.edu, as special accommodations can be made to schedule a group session outside of the reading room space.
