Suggestion:

I'd like to suggest the library confine eating to specific tables. I see (and hear) many people eating at computers, which makes a mess as well makes concentrating difficult. People do not clean up after themselves and often leave sticky substances behind. Many people bring finger foods, which means they are sticking their fingers into their mouths, then typing on shared computers, not a pleasant thought, and not sanitary either. thank you

Response:

We will post signs around the computers and encourage users to not eat while using them. Regular cleaning of computer areas will be scheduled. Thank you for the suggestion.

Suggestion:
Why is the library never open the Sunday before classes begin? It would be helpful for students who need to use the computer and print important materials like articles and a syllabus for class preparation.

Response:
Thank you for your suggestion.

Blagg-Huey Library staff continually evaluate usage patterns as well as student requests to determine when to extend service hours. This semester, Blagg-Huey Library is extending hours during finals in response to student requests. Library usage during the extended hours will contribute to decisions about hours going forward.
