Noise is a contentious issue in modern libraries. Some people prefer a very very quiet library; some people prefer a group study area. And, at different times, most people like it to be a bit of both!
Earlier this year, the librarian issued a survey to students asking their preferences. Most replies indicated that they would prefer a combination of quiet areas and group study areas. So ta-dah, this is it!
From today the library has a:
Green Zone = Group Study Area
This is based in the left-hand wing of the library, both on level 1 and level 2.
On level 1, there is one big desk per PC to enable you to study in groups.
On level 2, feel free to study together.
Green is a shush-free zone
Orange Zone = Quiet Individual Study
This is based in the right-hand wing of the library, both on level 1 and level 2.
On level 1, there are PCs for individual use.
On level 2, please keep the noise to a minimum.
Please choose to sit in the area that best suits your needs; and remember to respect the other library users. Remember to follow the signs!
