Roary’s Tip: Library Volume Zone Guide (Part One)

Posted on by

Hi Roary, I noticed there are new signs on the library tables labeled with zone designations. I was sitting at a “considerate zone” table the other day. It says we should discuss in a low volume. What other library zones are there?

Currently, three types of spaces in the library accommodate different student study needs: Considerate, Quiet, and Collaborative. The floor map delineates three library zones in distinct color.

The “considerate zone” is the majority of the library’s 5th floor, except the Course Reserve & Media room, which is a “quiet zone.”

Typically, I prefer working in the quiet zone, but today I’m looking for a spot to work on a report with classmates. We will mostly be on our laptops researching and occasionally talking to each other to figure out the data we want to use for the report. Can we do this in the “considerate zone”?

Yes, I recommend “Academic Commons” in the “Considerate Zone” as the most suitable space for this requirement. Please be mindful of those around you and keep your discussion volumes low.

We will choose “Academic Commons” as a perfect space for our work. Thanks Roary!

No problem, ask me any other questions that you may have at any time!

Roary’s Tip: Explore the World of Periodicals Collection

Posted on by

Hey there, it’s Roary！

Next to the Open Computing area and facing the Academic Commons, you’ll find the Periodicals collection, where all our print periodicals, such as magazines are kept. 

When you approach, you’ll notice that each print periodical has its latest issue displayed inside the outermost acrylic pocket.

It’s a convenient way to see the most recent releases at a glance. 

But wait, what’s up with that little hand on the top right corner of the pocket? 

Well, it’s there to guide you on the correct way to pull out the drawer and access the back issues stored inside.

It’s super easy, my friend! 
So, get ready for an exciting adventure in the library as you dive into the world of our periodicals collection.
Let the exploration begin!

Please note that the materials in the Periodicals collection are for library use only.
