regularily raised the issue of the noise level in the computer area.
This is meant to be a quiet area with signs indicating this however
this is rarely ever complied with or implemented by staff. This is
very frustrating for students like myself who wish to use the library
to work but struggle to be able to concentrate.
I wonder if there is a way of putting up more signs in the area or to
have someone occasionally come through and ask the noisier students to
be more quiet?
I sympathise with the comments you make. Due to pressures on space in Aylesbury Campus we
cannot create a Silent area so we try to create "Quiet" areas which are a half
way house - if you like.
It is impossible to make it very quiet in the designated Quiet
areas especially when a lecturer may have given a group a project. In those instances the noise level can get too high. Staff do "remind"
students of their responsibilities.
There are signs and staff do "patrol" it but they can't be in there all the
time.
If you are trying to work and the noise level is too high I would encourage
you to come and tell the LRC staff and they will react discreetly so as not to
involve you.
It must be said that one person's quiet is another person's noisy or indeed
silent! Equally sometimes the quiet studious ones last week are the noisy ones
next week!
In the meantime the staff will undertake to "walk through" more often. If I
can ask to you to speak to staff if you find noise levels unacceptable perhaps
we can help with the situation
