Luton Library - Computer Science and Technology software

It meant to say can we have logic software installed in the library PCs so that weekends if we ddnt book the rooms we can still have access to it in the library. Thank you.


Thank you for the update I am still not sure what you mean by

if we ddnt book the rooms we can still have access to it in the library
but all the Computer Science and Technology Software is on the PCs on Level 2 Luton Campus Library over by the window.

Bedford iMovie

iMovie is not the latest version - therefore projects created on newer versions are not comfortable with the macs on the third floor.

Will get Macs on 3rd Floor of Bedford updated to Catalina, and notify you when this has been done.

Luton - bookable rooms

Could we have loric software in the library computers pls for we need to book the rooms to catch up during weekends and after lectures during the week.

Thank you for your email. You will need to send me more details about the software you require as it isn't a standard item on our student PCs and I may not be able to help.
There are group study rooms on levels 4, 5 & 6 of Luton Library which you can book online. I addition there are two presentation rooms on level 2 which you can also book online. Deatils are here

Students may not book teaching rooms

Luton Library - Cleaning


Cleaning- I have noticed on the weekend the library toilets do not get cleaned and are really in an atrocious manner. Please can we have cleaners more regularly, I checked their cleaning log for one of the floors and they only check it once a day on the weekend. Even I noticed today they were not cleaned from the weekend. For the beginning of the week, this is really not acceptable. It is a 24 hour library after all.

Furthermore, whilst all the bins get emptied, their surround is not being cleaned and is sticky (I have seen a few like this for the past couple weeks).

Also I do not know why it is that when I arrive in the morning, I always have to wipe my work space down because they have been missed. This has been happening frequently. Are the cleaners wiping the tables down?

Whilst I appreciate it is a big library, it would be appreciated if cleanliness could be more of a priority, considering many of us spend long hours in the library and do not want to sit in an uncleaned one.


Thank you for your comments. Maintaining the library environment is a partnership between all the stakeholders staff, students, external customers as well as Facilities. I will share your comments with the Facilities team but via the blog this message needs to be heard by the whole Library community too. We all play a role in keeping the library clean and tidy.

Bedford Library - ground floor PC

Used the computers downstairs and print queue wouldn't show on release. Library staff tried their best, however, unable to solve so will investigate

Thank you for letting us know your concerns. I do apologise for the inconvenience it caused you. The PCs are being checked so it won't happen again
