We apologize for the inconvenience caused, but now is the best time to do the renovations to the lift to minimize disturbance to staff and students.

Actions Taken For Your Safety

In cooperation with several University departments, the Library has taken action to ensure your safety in the Learning Commons.
 
Some of these may cause you inconvenience.  Please be understanding and cooperate with our efforts, and with instructions from Library and Security staff.
 
Thank you!

Shred Confidential Failed Printouts

A Library user recently made a request:

I am looking for the services of Paper Shredder.  As a matter of fact, some of the documents, after printing and/or photocopying inside the library, have personal information.  It is no[t] a good idea to put them into paper recycle bag.  Thus, I would like to ask whether it is possible for library to provide paper shredder.

Yes – let’s give this a try! We have repurposed a small paper shredder and made it available for you to use.

New and Improved Group Study Rooms

The Library is always working to improve services and facilities for your use.  Recently, we have been able to convert 3 more rooms into group studies!

Back in May, we added room LG4-02.  And this week we rolled out LG3-04 and LG3-08!  We still need to add some artwork to them, and the computer monitor in LG3-08 is a temporary one on the table – a proper 32″ wall-mounted monitor will be added later.
