What's in a name

It is very confusing having references to library/LRC. Is it not possible to call your libraries, "LRC" or "Library" and maintain a consistency in all your promotional material and web sites?


When University of Luton merged with the DMU site at Polhill we had two different cultures. UoL called its resource centres/libraries Learning Resource Centres and Polhill had a library. In an effort not to confuse or alienate any students after the merger both forms were kept. It is on the agenda for review but for now we have to cope with some rather clunky terms of description.
