ISBN 978-0-7619-6057

This is an excellent book for all mental health professionals who need to know about personality disorders as it explains in very comprehenisible manner all the theories on the development of personalities and their disorders. I would recommend it especially for our masters in mental health students and all the professional mental health service providers who work with clients who have personality disorders. Some of its chapters will be in our core reading list for both our PXMH7023 & PXMH7028 courses

Best regards!

Hello
The state of the Bio Sciences Library on the weekends is pretty average.
At the moment there is at least one large smelly bin that is overflowing with food and packaging on the floor, the ladies toilets have toilet paper all over the floor and most desks have crumbs and tissues on them (I also found a bandaid on mine today).
Clearly students should be careful to respect the facility, however maybe extra cleaning is required on the weekend due to its 24/7 nature. Even if wipes were provided for the desks that would be really helpful.
Thank you

My experience tells me that no matter which library, time of day, undergraduate or postgraduate student, I continually observe students who cannot understand or are too arrogant to acknowledge 'QUIET STUDY' signage.

In the past at least, in public and school libraries patrons are reprimanded by library staff for breaking the rules. Libraries were once considered sacred quiet spaces. Perhaps we need to bring back these basic rules, or at least reeducate students?

While I understand the impracticalities of library staff policing the issue, I would like to make the suggestion of emailing all students (undergraduate & postgraduate) to explain what is meant 'Quiet study', and why it is critical to respect these sacred quiet spaces.

Hi.

You now have 9 of the 10 CDs in the series A Field Guide to Australian Birdsong. See http://library.uq.edu.au/search~S7/t?SEARCH=a+field+guide+to+Australian+....

The 10th CD is now available. See http://boca.org.au/about-boca/publications/australian-birdsong-cds

I quote from the site "All ten CDs in the series are now available."

I suggest it would be good for Gatton library to purchase CD 10 and complete its set.

I would be keen to borrow this CD when it arrives.

Thank you.
John

Just writing to ask if the baskets attached underneath the desks in bioscience are actually serving any purpose? In the past 20 minutes me and my friend have knocked them 5 times, leading to a loud crash that is distracting everyone around us. Thanks.

Today in the BSL I found myself procrastinating and reading some of the feedback on this site. I was disappointed to find no positive feedback. I would just like to say that I've always found library staff at UQ very pleasant and helpful. Thanks for all your hard work.
