Follow the Rules
Suggestion/Comment
“Especially during finals, there are high school students who use the computers to play games and use the quiet study rooms to be loud and play card games. I don’t mind if they use this library (it is public), but the Library was designed for health care professional students. Please be more attentive or do something to prevent these high school students from abusing the facility. Thanks.”
Response
You are correct. Ebling Library does open its’ doors to the general public as well as health care professionals and students. We get users with very different reasons for being here, and we try to make sure that the environment allows for all of those pursuits without any one interfering with another. To this end, we have a policy in place that prohibits anyone from playing games on public computers, with the exception being the Decompression Zone, which was created for game players. We also made the 3rd floor a Quiet/Silent zone, so that folks who did not want to have to deal with the conversational nature of the second floor had a place to go. In the cases you mention, it does not sound like we were properly enforcing these rules. Please accept our apologies, and know that we will try to make sure that these rules are more diligently enforced going forward. And please feel free to let us know of any concerns you have at our Service Desk.
