Just to catch up on some recent requests.

No we have no fax – try NUSA or U PRINT or Post Office.

Staplers – I love this debate – we do supply up to a point – you can buy them really cheaply

The issue about people who use computers for private use -  is that it is very hard to police

- it could be Uni related work as many sites use Facebook.

No one wants to live in a police state.

If anyone stops you and tries to sell you a cheap stapler or hole puncher, can you tell us. We would dearly love to know what is happening to the equipment we buy for students to use here in the AIC.

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!

Unfortunately the A3 colour printer is still not working.  If you could print to the L266 4700 which only prints A4 colour.  Please see the desk for any problems.

Like spotting the first blowfly of the season it has been suggested that during busy times of the day students should consider others and not waste time on Facebook and You tube.  Oh how right you are!
We have been given extra $ to add more powerpoints on Levels 3 & 4 which may help.
But as to the age old question of good manners its needs a collective agreement on standards of behaviour.
