The security guard working on the night of Monday 12/9 was quite rude. I went outside briefly to make a phone call and buy a drink from the vending machine, and he clearly saw me walk outside, as he was standing by the doorway eyeing people off like a hawk as they came in. When I came back inside just 2 minutes later he asked me for ID, even though he knew I had just left the library (he had seen me). I explained that my ID was up in my bag at my computer, but he made a big deal of it and made me go upstairs, retrieve it and show it to him, without so much as a "please". I felt like an idiot and talked down to. I realise that showing ID after 8pm is a requirement of entry to the library, but perhaps it can be done with a little common sense - I had left the library barely two minutes before, and he had seen me do so. And if no common sense can be applied, perhaps some basic courtesy would not go astray, at the very least.

Dear PACE library:
The noise level at PACE library is much louder compared to a number of other UQ libraries and this is very distracting for students who require a quiet area to study. I am aware of the quiet zone at the PACE library however even at this space, a number of students are unaware that they need to stay quiet. Also it seems that a number of students like to "hang out" in the library and chat loudly rather then to study and this is unfair to the students who need to study. Their noise level is so loud that students at the quiet zone can hear. Perhaps there needs to be a greater increase in awareness for lowering voice levels at the PACE library?
Thank you very much.

Hello,
I'd like to suggest some awareness raising about library computer etiquette.
Every time I try to find a computer in the Biol library there are none free but about 20 left unused with books sitting at the desk. Often I'll sit at one of these computers and the user won't return for around an hour and will be astonished that I've taken the computer in that time.
It's unfair that students leave computers 'bagsed' for hours at a time, when other students could be working on them.
I think we need some signs/posters around the library saying that it is not ok to leave a computer while you go to class, and that if it is left inactive until the screen saver comes on it is ok for someone else to begin using it.
Thanks
As I aware that the group room and individual rooms on level 4 & 5 at Duhig Building hasn't been clean for a while(the rubbish on the floor and desk which I saw a week ago was still there.)
Please advise cleaners to vacuum and wipe down the desk at least once per week.
Many thanks
I find it irritating that people can use library computers for private use, including facebook. When I line up for a computer it is common to see people using facebook for extending periods of time and they don't seem to care that someone is waiting to use the computer for learning purposes. There are limited computer facilities in the library and hence there is usually a wait. Can you please restrict or do away with private usage. As with all students I am paying for my studies and I don't think it's right that I can't use University facilities and services because someone else is using them for private purposes.
Thank you
Maryanne
