Student policed group rooms?

Monday, August 25th, 2008
Group Room With the ever increasing do-it-yourself attitude around the library the idea of having students police their own group room bookings has surfaced. This would mean that it would be up to students to clear out of the room when their booking was finished to make way for other students. Is it a good idea? Or a bad idea? Will it make the group rooms a Utopia of Harmony or a Field of War? We are interested to hear any and all opinions. Personally I have a lot of faith in the students who visit the Biological Sciences Library and after some initial teething problems, while everyone gets used to the new way of policing rooms, it will work out very well with only a minimal amount of problems. But then I’m an optimist.
