Luton - PAD

Pad Team Online says that PAD is on level 1 when in reality it is on 2 floors. I had to wait longer because of a lack of this information on the website

Thanks for raising your concerns. The PAD drop-in is based on level 1 of the campus centre although the PAD team sometimes see students on both level 1 and level 2 at the same time if more than 1 tutor is running drop-in and there isn't space downstairs.The PAD teame operate on a first-come first-served basis regardless of where students are seen.


Yesterday the PAD team piloted running 2 queues to see if this could speed up seeing students. In the event the PAD team found this did not work so will not be repeating this approach to queue management. Learning Resources is sorry if this resulted in anyone having to wait longer than what would ordinarily be the case.

Bedford WiFi

Internet is too hard to connect to and very unstable

Thank you for raising your concerns with me. I apologise for the inconvenience caused. I am assuming that you are trying to connect to WiFi as there are no reported problems with University PCs. I am sorry that you are having problems with WiFi. Please ensure you have followed advice from LR staff in Bedford Library if this doesn't help they may advise you to try UoB student or UoB Guest. it may be a case of moving to a different part of the Library

The University is experiencing connection fluctuations with its WiFi network. If none of these access routes work may I suggest that you work on one of the library's PCs and save your work to a USB stick. This isn't an ideal solution but while the University attempts to resolve the WiFi problems we may have to work differently for a while.

Luton - Self Service

The screen on the self service renting of books kept on crashing. Maybe its time for Uni to have a system check up done. If it weren't for the staff to manually scan the book we would have been able to take them home. Thanks

Thank you for bringing this problem to my attention. I can reassure you that this fault will be looked into immediately. Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused.

We rarely experience any problems with our self issue equipment and so I am hopeful that we can rectify this issue straight away
http://lrweb.beds.ac.uk/libraryservices/availableservices/self-issue

There are 3 self issue machines on level 1 of Luton LRC and 1 by the IT Suite on the ground floor. Should you ever experience any problems again may I suggest that you try an alternative machine to minimise any inconvenience to you.
