I find it appalling the behaviour of some library users, graffiti in the toilet areas and in books. Users should know better to respect the library, its facilities and its property.

At the end of last semester you had a great big wonderful sign asking everyone to be quiet on levels 3 and 4 of SSH. Could we have it back again now please? The staff don't seem to have time to do shoosshhing patrols, and sometimes it's really noisy, especially near the entries and computers. The sign worked quite well last time. It was fabulous! Thank you!

When you download a file from a catalogue listing (e.g. a .pdf) it gives a warning regarding the filesize. It said that the file was "903.62Kb" when the file was in fact 903.62KB. Kb means kilobits; KB means kilobytes. 1KB = 8Kb.

RE: 24*7 study room - SILENT ZONE. Thank-you for establishing the 24*7 study room in Dorothy Hill Library. Can you please urgently make it a silent study area with appropriate signs erected? It is not fair on those that want to study fro exams in the early hours of the morning to be subjected to talk, chatter form others. I encourage the university to make more of these sort of study areas available, perhaps

I read with dismay that you are going to butcher the SS&H library to create a "study and social" lolly and espace. Libraries are repositories of a 2000-year old civilisation, and yet you insist on following every daft temporary corporate-media-addled fashion. You are followers of Murdoch and his ilk, not leaders.

Lately it has been impossible to get a computer at the BEL library, which is supposed to be reserved for postgraduate students. Is there any way the system can make sure that only people who pay postgraduate fees can access postgraduate resources instead of queuing? In engineering, for example, they are able to limit the use of their facilities to their faculty and appropriate students, why can't we?

Hello; I am quite dissapointed with the standard the books at the UQ Social Sciences Library have been maintained. All through the semester I have been borrowing books with so much underlining, writing, comments in both pencil and pen, and even hightlighting in them that the actual text is hardly clear anymore.
