With the vast amount of international collaboration at UQ, it would be very useful to have access to language learning software. Mango Languages is an online database with over 40 languages available. I used this program at my previous institution to learn Dutch and found it to be of very high quality. They also offer English for learners from many different lingual backgrounds. This would be helpful for all of the international students and staff at UQ who want to continue to improve their English skill.

I was very keen to attend a number of Library training sessions this Semester but have found upon examining the training schedule that most of the classes seem to be held only on certain days and at the same times (ie. one week a certain session is at 10am, the next week it is at 11am; the session is offered at the same time a few weeks later at the same times and then it is never offered again). This timetabling makes it very difficult for some students with contact-intensive courses to attend Library classes and the Library should vary its training schedules to allow more students the opportunity to attend or provide the full content and resources of the sessions online.
