Reservation System - Team Study Rooms

Team study rooms can be reserved online by users of designated patron groups depending on the period for which the reservation is made (Winter Semester, Summer Semester, or summer period). The minimum reservation duration of one hour is the same for all customer categories and team study rooms.

A sufficient balance in your financial account is required to make a reservation. 

Newly registered users and users with a newly activated chip library card can reserve study rooms up to one hour after their registration/activation of the new chip library card (due to the time delay in updating library systems).

 Enter the reservation system NTK Reservator

  1. Log in to your NTK User Account on the NTK website.
  2. Make sure (using the My Account option) that you fall into a Patron Group that is eligible to rent a Team Study Room, and that your registration is valid for the entire planned rental period. You can see your Patron Group also in your profile in the reservation system Rezervák NTK.
  3. Ensure that you have sufficient available balance in your NTK financial account to make the rental, or top up your financial account via a payment card or at the NTK cashier. You can see your balance also in the reservation system Rezervák NTK in your profile.

Strikethrough study rooms or times are already occupied. It is not possible to have more than 1 Team Study Room reserved for the same time. 
  7. After completing your selection, click on "Go to cart".
  8. Incorrectly chosen reservations/or parts of them can be removed from the cart before submitting the reservation.
  9. Before submitting the reservation, check the box in the black frame to confirm that you agree to the Terms and Conditions for Team Study Rooms and will not use them for commercial purposes.
  10. Then click on "Submit reservation".
  11. At this point, your reservation is complete, and you can continue with other reservations, or further edit the reservation in the order detail.
  12. The money for reservations will be immediately deducted from your financial account, but if you cancel the reservation (or part of it) more than 24 hours before its start, it will be refunded to your financial account.
  13. You can view your reservations at any time via the "Reservation Overview" button, and you can edit them via "Reservation Detail / Edit" (e.g., cancel the whole or part of your reservation).
  14. The occupancy of the study rooms, including your reservations, can be viewed in the Availability Calendar (select the date you are interested in here).

You can find your patron group after logging into your NTK account in the My Account section. You can change it by presenting the relevant documents to a librarian during assisted openining hours at the information desks on the 1st and 2nd floors.
