I have just reported this to our cleaning manager – I suspect it is to do with the cleaning fluid being used, and have asked that this be looked at. I will report back as soon as I hear, and thank-you for alerting us as this is not good from a number of angles, including the comfort one.
Cheers
It would be really helpful to have more information regarding this one so we can work out the source of the problem – so which terminal? And is it Bloomberg or Windows? For example.
Cheers
You are correct to observe that there are indeed times when the Sainsbury Library is not heavily used – but on each day that this is the case, we can clearly see the usage level rise during the day, due to the SBS students coming in “en masse” when released from lectures being held in the School or other events that have had kept them out of the library.
And while I appreciate that, for various reasons, many non-SBS students wish to work here, the fact that SBS students cannot realistically go to another library to work (and nor should they), means that my main responsibility has to be to ensure that the SBS students have access to the library as and when they need it.
So, until such time as someone can come up with some way that would guarantee that the total number of “guests” wishing to study here on any day did not exceed our capacity to accommodate them without detriment to the SBS students – who absolutely must take precedence over those who can use another library but prefer this one – then regrettably the policy as it is must stand.
A toilet…. …..maybe adjacent to a café, a lounge and a train station??
Sorry, maybe you are being serious, and here I am, giving my funny bone a bit of a stretch there.
But I have to be honest – no matter how hard which way I look at this one, I just can’t elicit a sane and sober response. But please, make a serious case on why you can’t walk to the nearest loo down the corridor or downstairs and why you would sacrifice high real-estate worth of study space to another loo (or two, depending on whether we can be non-gender specific), and why you would want to hear the many cacophonous and other sounds that emanate from such a facility, along with other emanations not unknown of such facilities while working in the library, and why you would want to tolerate the to-ing and froing through the library that would generally ensue, and I will respond – seriously, I promise.
Cheers
