timaru Apr 2014 2:00pm, 8 Apr 2014 21 posts	0 timaru Roberto are you at that supposed university called Cumbria?
Roberto Apr 2014 2:40pm, 8 Apr 2014 363 posts	0 Roberto Haha, yes I am. It just about passes as a university, my campus is pretty poor to be honest.
halfpint Apr 2014 9:07pm, 8 Apr 2014 17,707 posts	0 halfpint I have fines on my library card too. We are only there 2 days a week and sometimes with block placements and study weeks/holidays it can be several weeks that we aren't there. You can renew books online but not if someone has requested the book. It's a pain in the butt. I was however very excited by the automated fancy pants machines for borrowing books. It was all grumpy librarians in my undergrad day. Less impressed by the fact library is full of socialising youngsters. Ssshhhhh!!

FreshStart Apr 2014 10:15am, 9 Apr 2014 1,905 posts	0 FreshStart The library at Westminster (New Cavendish) is like a giant greenhouse, and doesn't contain a single book/journal relevant to my PhD. Luckily I only have to call in to collect IDD requests/attend training courses. I feel sorry for the library staff having to work in such unpleasant conditions. The best library I have used is ice.org.uk
Jambomo Apr 2014 10:26am, 9 Apr 2014 4,255 posts	0 Jambomo I am studying for my postgraduate MSc at Glasgow Uni. In a bit of a CBA'd rut at the moment as I have finished the teaching bit of the course and the novelty of having days off is turning into a two week do nothing holiday not so good as I have a report due on the 22nd, and exam and a dissertation to do!
Jambomo Apr 2014 10:27am, 9 Apr 2014 4,256 posts	0 Jambomo Lol I also work in a uni library (not Glasgows) so I am a mixture of feeling outraged at the bloody students and partial sympathy since I'm still one as well
