Current Suggestions….. April 20, 2009

Filed under: Nyte Byte, chic, food/drink, mobile phones, random, suggestions — uonlibnews @ 3:27 am

The Information Commons are designed for group work .  Expect people to be talking.  It does not excuse loud conversations on mobile phones.  But if you need a quiet space you will need to move to another floor.

Other random suggestions:

24 hr Macdonalds

Hammocks

Change machine- not going to happen

Less noisy vending machines

Ban mobile phones – if only!

City Hub Information Common (CHIC) August 21, 2007

Filed under: chic — uonlibnews @ 5:02 am

You may have already heard about the “Student Hubs” where student support and administrative services are concentrated into one-stop shops. But did you know that the City Hub in the City Precinct is also an Information Common that you can use to access computers, scanners, printers, and the wireless network using your own laptop.

You will find CHIC on the ground floor, within University House, Cnr. Auckland and King Streets, Newcastle.

Monday – Friday 8:30 am – 10:00pm Weekends 9:00 am – 5:00pm
