I would like to suggest that the library purchases the following newly released title, which would be of interest to a broad range of students and academics in both the physical and social sciences.

Thanks and kind regards,

You are probably aware that ProQuest is unavailable at the moment, giving this message when I tried to get into first "Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts" and then "MLA international bibliography": "ProQuest is unavailable until Sunday, November 06, 2011 10:00 am Eastern Time while we perform scheduled system maintenance. " - presumably American Eastern Time.
I just want to express my extreme disappointment as I work on final assessments due this coming week.

I am a final year law student.

Just wanted to let you know I think we need longer opening hours in libraries to ease congestion this time of year. This is a big uni, I think we need long library opening hours that respond to that accordingly. The biol science feels like a sardine can today. :)

Speical needs students are having difficulty acessing these computers. May I suggest the following. 1. The sign needs to be put up higher. There needs to be a sentence added that they MUST vacate the seats when requested to do so. 2. Either the log in should be restricted to students registered with student services as having special needs or perhaps the chairs could be removed and have to be requested. Students are using the desk space for their laptops and blocking the computers for special needs students. Without the assistance of a librarian there is increasing attitutde and resistance by able bodied students to give less able bodied students access. I am a registered special needs student and I have no hesitation in enlisting the assistance of a research librarian to get a seat. However, I have witnessed younger students in wheel chairs in tears because they can't get to the computers. These students who don't have the cumption to ask a lbrarian for help should not be placed in the sitution where they need to "beg" to other students for access to computer facilities that are for their priority use in the first place. If you have surveillance monitoring of this area ma I suggest you take a look at the tapes. Serena
