There were requests for increased opening hours in the evening and at weekends. There was a limited budget for this and it was difficult to find people willing to do the job. The need for extra opening hours was under review. The decision will be based on the density of users during the present 7-9 extra time. The lighting was felt to be generally poor in the basement in general and especially B13.
Some students report eye strain and headaches as a result.
It was agreed that reading lamps will be installed. There was felt to be a need for internal phones be installed in B13 and B01. Dissatisfaction was expressed with the lack of standardisation on keyboards. It was explained that the Sun keyboards are supplied with the machines. Although we do request a standard type where possible, if there is a special offer on machines however we do not always have the choice.
