Highlight about noisy place at all UQ Library

Submitted on Mon, 2013-04-08 20:04

I hope one of the main objectives for eastablishment of Library is for students who would like to improve their study by doing research and by studying their lesson quietly. However, student from Asia especially China, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea and Japan sitting together and chatting loudly as tea shop.

If possible, could you please revise the Libary rules and regulation to be kept as quiet place as much as possible and the group discussion place should be seperated.

I hope all students who would like to learn knew knowledge from internet and resource books will have wish like me.

If you keep fine system for creating of nosy thing, you will have a lot of fund for future development of Library.

Thank you for contacting us. The library provides a range of facilities that are designed or signposted for different types of use e.g. group rooms, single study carrels, quiet study floors and group study floors.

I am assuming that you have experienced noisy student conversations in areas that are quiet study areas. If this is the case, please approach them & ask that they either cease the talking or remove themselves & continue their conversations elsewhere. There is an expectation that all students are confident in communicating with other students aabout issues like this. If this is a problem please appraoch a library staff member.

Again, thank you for raising this issue.
