Re-Imagining Our Library
The Library is somewhere that, famously, students spend a lot of their time.
*The library has changed this year; there is more study space on the first floor, a new, simpler, printing system and no more library fines.
However it will be changing much more. Over the next few years almost all of the library floors will be altered and the library needs YOUR input on these changes.
Do we need our study space to be quieter? Do we need more space for group study or is it just about more seats and desks? Are fixed PC points a thing of the past with seemingly every student having a laptop? Or is the real problem other STUDENTS SAVING SEATS AND THEN LEAVING FOR HOURS?!?
For PhD students especially the way you use the library will be drastically changed. Next year the school is opening a PhD academy on the 4th floor of the library, i.e. a PhD only space to relax, study and learn. What should that space look like? What services do you want to available there?
Between noon and 2pm on Monday, February 9th the students union will be working with the library to let you have your say. Let us know what you think and what you want from your library in the future. Hope to see you there!
