Biol Sci 24 Hour Study Space
I simply don't understand why you can't put up more signage regarding computer etiquette around the library? I am in the eZone now, there is not a single computer free, and many have books and bags and other belongings strewn over them with no person in sight. People reserve computers for hours at a time and simply disappear off doing other things. This happens every single day. There is little to no signage in this library telling people not to do this, nor are there any staff patrolling and enforcing quiet zones. Please do not tell me that the solution is to move someone's stuff myself, or have to continually tell people to be quiet. I'd like to know why there is no signage or staff in this building, and when it is going to be fixed. Surely the amount of complaints you are receiving tell you that the current system is simply not working?

Thank you for your feedback about study in BSL. The 24/7 study space is a very popular area and the facilities are used to capacity during semester. The rules about computer usage are displayed prominently on the Library's web site. The computer itself will show several warnings and automatically log out if it is idle for a long period. Any computer that is not logged in is available to be used. If someone's belongings are preventing you from using the computer, please advise the security guard who is always in attendence on level 1. The guard will remove these items and enforce the rules in quiet study spaces. Experience shows us that signs on walls simply do not change patron behaviour.
