Urgent attention required re Use of computers in Fryer
I would like to make a complaint about the system being abused by some students re their use of computers in levels 4 and 5 in the Fryer Library.
There are numbers of students coming into the library early in the morning and putting their bag and some books down at a computer and then leaving Fryer for 3 and 4 hours. They are putting their belongings there thus preventing anyone else from using the computers.
No body would care if they just left the computer for 15 minutes or so - but to put belongings there and stop anyone else from using it is very unmindful and quite selfish.
It is extremely annoying and very unfair that some people can do this while the rest of us wait all day to be able to get to a computer to use one.
It is not even clear whether those students are post-grad or undergrad - nobody seems to be checking - and certainly there are no messages going out over the speakers telling students not to leave their belongings at a computer to 'reserve it for themselves' at all. And there does not appear to be anyone monitoring this situation.
If this situation could be remedied it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your feedback about use of computers on levels 4 and 5 of Duhig Tower. Library facilities are always in great demand throughout the semester and there are never enough computers for everyone. That's why Library computers are programmed to automatically log out whenever they have been idle for more than 15 minutes. Computers that have logged out are available for anyone to use.
