Luton IT Suite access during exams

Closing off the library computer area in teh Luton campus for a whole week instead of the duration of each exam is nonsense! I had to travel all the way to the Bedford campus just to get a computer. FIX IT!!

Thank you for bringing your concerns to my attention. I am sorry that you couldn't find any PCs overnight at Luton LRC during the exams. Although the IT Suite has a high concentration of PCs there are over 150  PCs on the other floors of the LRC. There was no evidence to say that all the other PCs were in use in the LRC so you easily have found an alternative study space.

It takes some time to set up the IT Suite for exams and it isn't feasible to take it down and put it back up on a daily basis.

I do understand that if the IT Suite is your favourite place to study you will be disappointed to find it closed but moving to another floor in the LRC is preferable to driving to Bedford Library to find a PC

Use of the IT suite for exams is publicised on the Luton LRC opening hours page of LRWeb

The last exam this week is today so the full ITSuite will open again at 2.30pm Wed 27 Jan but there are more exams next week so keep an eye on the information on LRWeb
