Mobile phone nuisance

Why don't you get a bit more strict on people talking or answering the phone in the library? If everyone knew that if their phone rings they would be banned for a year they would take great care so that it doesn't happen.

Thanks for your query. Whereas I share your frustration with mobile phone use, a year's ban is disproportionate to the offense caused. There are clear rules regarding the use of mobile phones in the Universities LRCs and library. All mobiles are supposed to be set on silent (ie no ring tones anywhere in any LRC/library) and voice conversations are only supposed to take place in designated areas. At Park Square that is the Social Learning Space and the stairwells. I would advise you to report any disturbance to security and they will take steps to stop this inconsiderate practice.
