You can make a booking one week in advance (bookings released daily at 4 p.m) and you can book two sessions in a week. A session is up to two hours.

Contact the Welcome Desk if you have any queries.

Alas, I can’t tell you what’s hot in the world of fashion. Before today, I thought tartan mini-skirts actually looked good on a 35 yr old. Apparently not. Who knew!

Luckily, I can tell you what’s currently hot in BSL. Group rooms!

The library has six group rooms (two large and four small) that can be used by staff and students. Part of the reason for their popularity is the uber cool plasma screens available in each room. Just connect your laptop into the port and power outlets (situated on the tables in each room) and information can be easily seen by everyone in the room. See the pic below for a demo [thanks to the students who kindly agreed to be interrupted for this photo op ]

Due to the popularity of these rooms, you will need to book ahead. Note: the group rooms can only be booked for two hours at a time. Bookings can be made in person at the Welcome Desk on Level 1 or by phoning 3346 4384 (64384). In the near future, an online booking system will be available.

So, to recap. What’s hot? Group rooms (and comments on this blog )
