Information Common and Genral Rules July 27, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — uonlibnews @ 11:46 pm

Suggestions often come in about users “reserving” computers, blocking access to computers with their laptops, using computers to watch movies and generally behaving in a selfish manner.

If you have an immediate problem with someone else’s behaviour please see the staff and we will deal with the situation.

If you have a problem with working in the Information Commons due to noise levels then you can relocate to other areas of the Library, if it is after hours then approach the staff again for assistance.
