Better Use of Computers

Submitted on Wed, 2013-03-27 09:04

Hi,
I would like to start by telling how annoyed i am sometimes when i come in to look for books and i can not get onto a computer to find the perfect book or section. Its frustrating to see a 5 minute limit computer being used for over that period, i don't know how long exactly because i don't wish to stand around and wait when i shouldn't have too. What I would like to see that would benefit the library community is some computers that are dedicated to solely finding books within the library catalog.
Thank-you for reading my short rant and i hope my feedback will be taken into consideration.

Thank you for contacting us with your concerns. I am sorry that you have been inconvenienced. We are aware that access to a computer to confirm a call no. is vital in those instances when all you need to do is get "the" item.

As we move to redesign space and upgrade facilities, including more power, more study spaces we will be considering options that would address this issue.

Again, thank you for your feedback.
