I have found the new book returns device in the SS&H library an St Lucia to be very annoying and time consuming. I am unable to see any advantage whatsoever over the old returns slot. Not only is it unwieldy to use, it often goes out-of-order, and it appears to be a waste of resources.

Hello
I just wanted to submit some feedback with regard to the BSL. I am currently studying on level 3 and it is extremely unclean. There is no toilet paper in the female bathrooms and all of the bins are overflowing. I understand that it must be hard to arrange cleaning of a 24hr study space but if nothing else I think it is important to keep the bathrooms clean.
Thanks

'Energy Myths and Realities - Bringing science to the energy policy debate'
Vaclav Smil
Publisher: AEI American Enterprise Institute (2010-08-16)
Hardcover, 232 pages
ISBN-10: 0844743283
ISBN-13: 9780844743288
I am a PhD student who has found Smil's other books on the topic very useful. I would very much like to be able to use this book too, in writing my thesis. I expect it would also be useful to many other borrowers working in the sustainability field.

Dear UQ,
The BioSci Study Space is a disgrace. It's noisy, filthy, and has no one to supervise or police it. Suggestions:
1. Hire people to patrol the library and kick out disruptive, rowdy users.
2. Implement a "no-parking" policy where people cannot leave their bags, notes etc on their desk unattended for more than 30 minutes. If they exceed 30 minutes, a security guard moves their stuff to the security desk to be picked up. THERE'S HEAPS OF DESKS RESERVED BY BAGS FOR HOURS AT A TIME - this is not acceptable.

I'd just like to write in and say how utterly useless the new and "improved" Biol Sci library is as a study space. All the books and journals were removed from levels 3 and 4 to make way for desks and carrals, which without new powerpoints are pretty much useless. Almost all course content is delivered online, without a place to plug in your laptop these carrels are somewhat silly. Also, not a single extra desktop computer has been added, so in effect we have lost the books and journals just for some desks and chairs. Level 4, the silent study area, is not in the least bit silent, as there are now no staff to patrol the area and it's a free for all. The library is dirty and strewn with rubbish also, due to the new improved 24 hour opening hours. I have been at UQ for 5 years now, and it's the worst it's ever been. It beggars belief that you do not have a quiet study area that is actually enforced.
