Find an Open Computer April 4, 2008
Posted by Phoebe in : Cool tools, Life in the library , trackbackAs the semester gets endy and the library gets FULL, remember we have a handy online system that allows you to see where there are unused computers in Perkins, Bostock, Vesic, Music, and Lilly.
Another school (Georgia Tech) set up a system like this, and a student cartoonist in their paper replied with the following:
If you are uncomfortable asking someone to give up a computer even though she is hanging out on Facebook and you really need the statistical software because your paper is due at 5pm, ask a librarian at the desk. We can find you an open computer or help remind others that people using the library computers for academic work should have priority.
