Instructions for Making a Gallery Request

Selecting Dates, Spaces, and Time

  1. On the Room Request page, click on the Search/Recurring button.
  2. Enter a Start Date in the box under Search Selection.
  3. Choose Daily for Recurrence.
  4. Choose a number for Ends to indicate the number of days you want your exhibit displayed.

    Please note: Our software is currently limited to 20 recurrences. If you want to reserve the gallery for more than 20 days, please call (812) 349-3050.

  5. Leave Reservation Length as the default 0.5 hour(s). The Gallery is open during normal library hours and exhibits are displayed for the duration of the reserved days but limiting reservations to one half hour time per day ensures that our software doesn't reserve more than one exhibit per day.
  6. Number of People in your group should be entered as 0.
  7. Select one or all of the Art Gallery choices.
  8. Time range can be left at the default 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
  9. Click on the Search button.
  10. From the matching results, click on the Select button for your choice. If there are conflicts, you can choose Remove to remove conflicted dates from your reservation. If all of you dates conflict, you can change the Start date in your search and try again.
