Not everyone has a way of getting their work done at home. Oct 21, 2013 12:49 PM 200 computers,printers, and online database. Oct 21, 2013 12:48 PM 201 It's resources and online database usage. Oct 21, 2013 12:46 PM 202 A quiet environment which I can spend hours in studying and working on my assignments; little disruption and distraction. I'd spend all afternoon during the summer semester and finish my work before going home. Also a good place for the occasional nap. :P Oct 21, 2013 12:28 PM 13 of 27 Page 4, Q4. What do you find most useful about the library? 203 Computers, articles/journals, studying. Oct 21, 2013 12:27 PM 204 Availability of computers. Oct 21, 2013 12:25 PM 205 the books that are there for class course allow students to really check the class before purchasing the book where latter on the might drop the class and the book they bought will not be needed Oct 21, 2013 12:25 PM 206 Study rooms Oct 21, 2013 12:20 PM 207 studying Oct 21, 2013 12:13 PM 208 good place to study Oct 21, 2013 12:13 PM 209 The way the library is arranged is very helpful for me.

Oct 21, 2013 11:58 AM 212 having access to the computers I like the fact their time limit to use computers. so every student has a chance to use it and not stay on that long. Oct 21, 2013 11:56 AM 213 the librarians are always helpful, they are committed to RHC and for student success.

Oct 21, 2013 11:25 AM 217 They had resources that I did not have. Oct 21, 2013 11:23 AM 218 The librarians are helpful. Oct 21, 2013 11:22 AM 219 The computers. Oct 21, 2013 11:16 AM 220 The computers and separate tables in the area. Oct 21, 2013 11:15 AM 221 The excellent help from the librarians. Oct 21, 2013 11:11 AM 222 Everything that I have needed for the library has been available Oct 21, 2013 11:07 AM 223 The course books that we are able to check out for use. They help when you don't have enough funds to purchase books. Oct 21, 2013 11:07 AM 224 An excellent place to do studies and homework Oct 21, 2013 11:06 AM 225 the open area Oct 21, 2013 11:05 AM 226 It is really quiet so I can focus on studying. Oct 21, 2013 11:03 AM 14 of 27 Page 4, Q4. What do you find most useful about the library? 227 The ability to check out class textbooks Oct 21, 2013 10:56 AM 228 The computers and the printers are what i find the most useful in the library. Oct 21, 2013 10:56 AM 229 The computers Oct 21, 2013 10:52 AM 230 That it has all the the resource available that I need to complete homework and other papers Oct 21, 2013 10:34 AM 231 2 hour reference books, computer availability and quietness. Oct 21, 2013 10:33 AM 232 The sitting arrangment. Oct 21, 2013 10:33 AM 233 Quiet space Oct 21, 2013 10:32 AM 234 The quiet and calm enviorment. Oct 21, 2013 10:31 AM 235 The librarians are very helpful. They have helped me when I have problems with the computer and they have helped me find and cite resources for different essays I have written. They are always willing to help and are always nice about it. Oct 21, 2013 10:31 AM 236 having textbook for students to use Oct 21, 2013 10:26 AM 237 THE COMPUTERS, PHOTO COPY MACHINES,BOOKS Oct 21, 2013 10:23 AM 238 checking out books to study from and do work from Oct 21, 2013 10:22 AM 239 Book Avalibility Oct 21, 2013 10:21 AM 240 I really appreciate the group study rooms and the study desks along the back walls. Oct 21, 2013 10:10 AM 241 The quiet spaces and computers Oct 21, 2013 10:04 AM 242 The amount of computers available Oct 21, 2013 10:00 AM 243 The library is a great go-to place for studying. The environment and setup is cozy. Oct 21, 2013 9:59 AM 244 The books they have that the class requires Oct 21, 2013 9:58 AM 245 The view to study Oct 21, 2013 9:58 AM 15 of 27 16 of 27 Page 4, Q5. How could the library be improved? 1 The library can be improved by having their computers updated to latest and greatest software. Oct 28, 2013 11:17 PM 2 i think it's great the way it is, nothing i can complain about. Oct 28, 2013 5:58 PM 3 Little more computer time. About 5 minutes more time. Oct 28, 2013 2:28 PM 4 better wifi it don't not always works, some days I can and some days can't on the Rio Hondo wifi Oct 28, 2013 2:02 PM 5 nothing Oct 28, 2013 1:05 PM 6 It reasonable as it is Oct 28, 2013 11:18 AM 7 probably more seating. Oct 28, 2013 10:41 AM 8 I think maybe adding another printer may help, especially when there's a line of students trying to print. Oct 27, 2013 10:40 PM 9 Have more copy machines Oct 27, 2013 8:55 PM 10 I am not sure how to improve the library at the moment. Oct 27, 2013 6:59 PM 11 Add more computers, better printers and photo copiers. Find ways to make lines and waiting times shorter. Also places with more privacy, and if possible a nice resting place for students as well. Improve security in the library. Oct 27, 2013 6:35 PM 12 More seating and more clerks going around asking students if they need help Oct 26, 2013 8:17 PM 13 needs more seats for studying Oct 26, 2013 2:22 PM 14 definitely add more chairs and tables with outlets for laptops.. Oct 26, 2013 11:08 AM 15 longer hours on the weekend Oct 26, 2013 9:13 AM 16 Noise control of group sessions in the meeting rooms; Oct 26, 2013 12:10 AM 17 Have a couple of more computers available. Oct 25, 2013 7:42 PM 18 by arranging more seating for students since at times its impossible to find a seat. Oct 25, 2013 4:26 PM 19 more place to hide and study sometime people are a little loud in the back Oct 25, 2013 2:37 PM 20 more computers and maybe open a couple hours longer Oct 25, 2013 2:16 PM 21 Staff can learn more of customer service and actually being interested in being a librarian. In which it is not my fault if I ask a question and get a rude answer. That is not professional looks bad on RHC service get us students to feel as if we aren't being appreciated when we just simply want to learn. Just my opinion. But overall I do appreciate the great opportunities that RHC has to offer us student's. Oct 25, 2013 11:40 AM 22 that maybe they shouldn't charge the first few copies we print. Oct 25, 2013 10:14 AM 17 of 27 Page 4, Q5. How could the library be improved? 23 I would like to see more tables available for individual studying and electrical outlets for laptops/notebooks etc. Oct 25, 2013 10:01 AM 24 I honestly don't have any critiques. Oct 25, 2013 8:51 AM 25 well i dont understand how the books are arranged so maybe helping students to understand how that all works, whether it is by flyers or some other way. Oct 24, 2013 8:59 PM 26 more copies of reserved textbooks that are available to be borrowed outside the library. Oct 24, 2013 7:47 PM 27 open 24-7... Oct 24, 2013 6:54 PM 28 I don't see how. Oct 24, 2013 5:26 PM 29 nothing Oct 24, 2013 4:44 PM 30 It needs comfortable seats Oct 24, 2013 4:15 PM 31 Implement a policy for staff to make sure students are quiet. Oct 24, 2013 4:02 PM 32 God KNOWS Oct 24, 2013 12:07 PM 33 One of the complaint I saw and encountered was the the limited issues and hours that we can use of textbooks required in a class. For example, the book that I need in Chemistry was only allowed for two hours but it will take you more than two to comprehend the material and do the homework simultaneously. Also, you cannot hug the book because some students that limited on their resources on purchasing books are waiting for you. Maybe more textbooks are allowed to borrow and more hours. Oct 24, 2013 10:15 AM 34 more computers to use Oct 24, 2013 10:10 AM 35 The library can be improved by inviting students to visit more often. Oct 24, 2013 9:43 AM 36 I am a happy library going so unfortunately I have no improvement suggestions Oct 24, 2013 8:06 AM 37 I'm sure this topic has been brought up before, but the seating. Its difficult being able to find a table. Oct 24, 2013 12:17 AM 38 open an extra hour. Oct 23, 2013 11:59 PM 39 no comment Oct 23, 2013 11:51 PM 40 Sometimes the photocopiers are sometimes unavailable to use sometimes. Oct 23, 2013 10:40 PM 41 The library could use more desks for studying. Oct 23, 2013 9:26 PM 42 The library could benefit from printer stations to cut down the lines. Oct 23, 2013 8:52 PM 43 More privacy at tables. May be achieved through installing small walls/dividers between tables. Oct 23, 2013 7:09 PM 44 asking students who dont seem to be studying to keep quiet. Oct 23, 2013 6:51 PM 18 of 27 Page 4, Q5. How could the library be improved? 45 I feel the library could highly improve if more computers were available, or if the allowed time to be on it was a bit longer, also more study rooms, perhaps more comfortable seating and reinforce it is a quiet study area. Oct 23, 2013 6:41 PM 46 I can't find many big flaws in the way the library is, currently. Oct 23, 2013 5:46 PM 47 More places to study Oct 23, 2013 4:18 PM 48 Can't think of anything right now. Oct 23, 2013 2:45 PM 49 N/A Oct 23, 2013 2:38 PM 50 By making Librarians more organized and focused on helping students Oct 23, 2013 12:54 PM 51 to have more seating Oct 23, 2013 12:51 PM 52 More seating room in the library with access to an outlet Oct 23, 2013 12:20 PM 53 more copiers,, not so much to copy a page Oct 23, 2013 11:15 AM 54 Computer time limits could be extended. Oct 23, 2013 9:55 AM 55 maybe the hours of operation. Oct 23, 2013 9:45 AM 56 more time added on computers Oct 23, 2013 9:39 AM 57 Extend operating hours for students who stay on campus at night. Oct 23, 2013 9:19 AM 58 N/A Oct 23, 2013 9:09 AM 59 from my experience i think everything its good Oct 23, 2013 9:04 AM 60 the library can improve by providing more seating areas for students because there is not enough. Oct 23, 2013 8:54 AM 61 More seats and more computers available. Oct 23, 2013 8:50 AM 62 Don't know. Oct 23, 2013 8:33 AM 63 open longer hours Oct 23, 2013 8:18 AM 64 More individual seating arrangements. Oct 23, 2013 7:01 AM 65 Have more study desks or even student zones so people can study. Oct 23, 2013 1:09 AM 66 More seating Oct 22, 2013 11:28 PM 67 i'm not sure Oct 22, 2013 11:21 PM 68 dont know Oct 22, 2013 10:46 PM 69 More seating if possible. Oct 22, 2013 10:09 PM 70 Put more seating areas Oct 22, 2013 10:07 PM 19 of 27 Page 4, Q5. How could the library be improved? 71 We need more group and individual tables especially study rooms. Oct 22, 2013 9:54 PM 72 I need it to be open longer on weekends and day Oct 22, 2013 8:49 PM 73 N/A Oct 22, 2013 7:48 PM 74 temperature control Oct 22, 2013 7:46 PM 75 Longer operating hours Oct 22, 2013 7:08 PM 76 Some books need to be updated. Or, in other words, some of them look old. Also, it might be a good idea to have a single computer reserved as a "kiosk" for the library's catalog. This way students won't HAVE to reserve a computer JUST so they can find a specific book in the library. Oct 22, 2013 5:47 PM 77 have more tables and chairs to study and have more reserved books from our classes that we can borrow. Oct 22, 2013 4:46 PM 78 Since I haven't had to check out a book at the library, I don't know the process of having to wait for a book in case that another student is using it. I think that having more than one copy of the textbook on hand would be helpful since I know and have seen a few students that can't afford to buy a book miss out on the first few assignments because of them not having a book. Although you can reserve a book, maybe two or more copies would benefit students that have to wait for a textbook to become available. Oct 22, 2013 4:23 PM 79 it should be improved by having more textbooks on reserve and have more computers available Oct 22, 2013 4:12 PM 80 The noise in the library is very heavy and needs a lot of attention. Oct 22, 2013 4:01 PM 81 give students more time on the computers. Oct 22, 2013 4:00 PM 82 It need to have more tables available for students. Oct 22, 2013 3:47 PM 83 By being innovative and having electronic books and earphones for you to listen in school. Oct 22, 2013 3:30 PM 84 No suggestions. Oct 22, 2013 1:50 PM 85 Getting more computers. Oct 22, 2013 1:49 PM 86 Longer hours. Oct 22, 2013 1:40 PM 87 more laptop desks available Oct 22, 2013 1:22 PM 88 Perhaps it would be useful to have one computer in the study rooms. There are quick questions that come up that would easily be answered without having to go through the process of signing in and waiting for an available computer. They would also benefit those groups who are working together on an assignment and cannot always do it because they take up the chairs of other computers. An additional printer would be great as well. Many times there is a traffic jam of people waiting to print. Oct 22, 2013 1:18 PM 20 of 27 Page 4, Q5. How could the library be improved? 89 i think extend the hour on the computer by 15 minutes or so maybe even 10 and when it is super slow give more time to the people on them. like early in the morning or late at night. Oct 22, 2013 1:09 PM 90 MORE TABLES AND CHAIRS Oct 22, 2013 1:07 PM 91 More seating to accommodate more students and longer hours for those who have night classes and desire a place to study. Oct 22, 2013 12:52 PM 92 Have all course books at the library incase a student can't afford to buy it until the next month Oct 22, 2013 12:39 PM 93 finding the a particular book is difficult, maybe have a computer to get the info on where to find the book. Oct 22, 2013 12:38 PM 94 More seats should be provided for students. Oct 22, 2013 12:23 PM 95 no comment Oct 22, 2013 11:56 AM 96 Wider variety of things to read as well as addtional outlets to plug in chargers for laptops. Oct 22, 2013 11:54 AM 97 I think the library need some more electric outlets that students can use when they need doing online homework in laptops. Oct 22, 2013 11:53 AM 98 I can see the library having a tutor for math and/or science in there. I know the MSC has the staff, but they don't have a lot of room and it can get loud in there. Also, having the library stay open an hour later would be helpful, since some students do wait for siblings to get out of their 10o'clock class and have no where to wait. Oct 22, 2013 10:41 AM 99 Have operating hours past 3pm on friday and also on saturday past 1 pm. Oct 22, 2013 10:37 AM 100 extend hours, do not close on fridays or other times that students should be available to access Oct 22, 2013 10:29 AM 101 n/a Oct 22, 2013 10:24 AM 102 Adding a tutor for every subject once a week or once every two weeks. Oct 22, 2013 10:20 AM 103 They could have more librarians to help you out instead of just two. Oct 22, 2013 9:44 AM 104 Free printing Oct 22, 2013 9:26 AM 105 The library should open earlier for students that need to print things early in the morning. Oct 22, 2013 9:26 AM 106 the thing that could improve are the singing computer where you could singing to use the computer Oct 22, 2013 9:18 AM 107 It is ok everything Oct 22, 2013 9:02 AM 108 needs more seating areas and updated books Oct 22, 2013 8:46 AM 21 of 27 Page 4, Q5. How could the library be improved? 109 may be by adding more children books. Oct 22, 2013 8:43 AM 110 More seating throughout the library Oct 22, 2013 8:09 AM 111 N/A Oct 22, 2013 7:10 AM 112 n/a Oct 22, 2013 6:38 AM 113 more computers Oct 22, 2013 4:15 AM 114 I feel the seating chart can be arranged... I find the kid section to be um, well a bit off. I mean I never seen actual children use that space. I understand it serves purpose for parents who attend school, but I never find myself in a situation where I say "oh I cant sit there because the space is being used by children". Oct 22, 2013 12:20 AM 115 Have more textbooks available for students to rent out. Oct 21, 2013 11:43 PM 116 The library has already improved. Oct 21, 2013 11:25 PM 117 A giant fish tank would be appealing to look at. Oct 21, 2013 11:23 PM 118 The library could be improved by extending the hours of operation because many students work or have schedules that make it so they have to do their homework at night. So, it would be helpful to have the library available. Oct 21, 2013 10:10 PM 119 If there were more seats or computers available Oct 21, 2013 9:51 PM 120 more seating!! Oct 21, 2013 9:39 PM 121 not sure. Oct 21, 2013 9:31 PM 122 no improving needed i think it looks great. Oct 21, 2013 9:17 PM 123 Newer titles for check out Oct 21, 2013 9:12 PM 124 Perhaps the addition of desks could help. Oct 21, 2013 9:09 PM 125 Maybe stay open until 10pm. Oct 21, 2013 9:04 PM 126 the library can be improved if it had longer operating hours in the afternoon. Oct 21, 2013 9:00 PM 127 more time when working on the computers Oct 21, 2013 8:20 PM 128 More seating. Oct 21, 2013 8:06 PM 129 Printing is a little pricey. More room to study. More computer access. Oct 21, 2013 7:59 PM 130 more seating and study areas. Oct 21, 2013 7:54 PM 131 more seating Oct 21, 2013 7:48 PM 132 if there could be more outlets for laptops next to tables and also more tables/chairs in the library would be awesome because it can be packed sometimes Oct 21, 2013 7:43 PM 22 of 27 Page 4, Q5. How could the library be improved? 133 Longer hours Oct 21, 2013 7:32 PM 134 No comment. Oct 21, 2013 7:19 PM 135 N/A Oct 21, 2013 7:10 PM 136 Making it more easy to find the books that students need. Oct 21, 2013 7:04 PM 137 Maybe, try to make certain areas of the library more quiet, for example the area on the second floor where there are a few desks. Oct 21, 2013 7:01 PM 138 n/a Oct 21, 2013 6:54 PM 139 Chairs or sofas to just sit and read a book Oct 21, 2013 6:54 PM 140 more available tables Oct 21, 2013 6:35 PM 141 Honestly, it is great how it is. Oct 21, 2013 6:26 PM 142 in occasion I need a room to do my home work since it has to do with the use of the wifi mostly work in photoshop and final cut pro this are programs that are not available in the library occasionally I deal with sound on my final cut productions I need a place that I can use the privacy to do my work at the present time am working on putting my portfolio together for UC Santa Barbara for an MFA Oct 21, 2013 6:10 PM 143 It needs more seatings Oct 21, 2013 6:06 PM 144 I think it's not quiet enough sometime people are talking loud. Oct 21, 2013 6:01 PM 145 they have everything control and organized Oct 21, 2013 5:50 PM 146 The library could be improved by having more computers for students to use, more outlets and seating Oct 21, 2013 5:49 PM 147 I wish there was more available wifi spots and more available computers because there tends to be a long waiting list at certain times. Oct 21, 2013 5:29 PM 148 Have more places open for laptops or some simple sofas where people can sit. A better, simple, and quicker system to print out documents would also be great. Oct 21, 2013 5:15 PM 149 more tables Oct 21, 2013 5:00 PM 150 possible provide outlets on the inner tables. currently, only the double desk along the outside of the library have outlets and they are the first to fill up. when I am here all day it's hard to keep doing work on my computer unless I can get a seat along the wall with an outlet. Oct 21, 2013 4:59 PM 151 Online read only research for Rio students offsite Oct 21, 2013 4:58 PM 152 Adding more data banks of journals from different fields. Oct 21, 2013 4:45 PM 153 Need new copy machines. Also during midterm and finals sometimes you can't find a computer or a seat to study so maybe have more quite places open or the computer lab open. Oct 21, 2013 4:40 PM 23 of 27 Page 4, Q5. How could the library be improved? 154 Better WiFi. Oct 21, 2013 4:31 PM 155 I feel the library provides what is needed to students Oct 21, 2013 4:19 PM 156 More seating in areas Oct 21, 2013 4:15 PM 157 I would say the library needs improvement in putting more tables and chairs for work study, there's been a few times where I have looked for a place to study and I have to sit on the floor against the wall. I would also say that room where there's printers and copy machines, i also have experienced delays in long lines. Oct 21, 2013 4:10 PM 158 ... Oct 21, 2013 4:01 PM 159 Better sources online Oct 21, 2013 3:47 PM 160 The library is excellent Oct 21, 2013 3:46 PM 161 A little more seating area. Oct 21, 2013 3:36 PM 162 Adding more studying tables along the windows. Oct 21, 2013 3:32 PM 163 More Computer Time, or More Computers. Oct 21, 2013 3:30 PM 164 More hours in the weekend Oct 21, 2013 3:29 PM 165 The library needs more sitting. Oct 21, 2013 3:07 PM 166 Snack bar on the lower level and possibly computerized walk up screen system at door for students to do a quick check to see if the book they need is even available Oct 21, 2013 2:58 PM 167 n/a Oct 21, 2013 2:45 PM 168 It is often difficult to find available computers for students and 2 hour maximum use is not enough when researching, typing a paper. We need more computers available for students. We could also use a designated area for those with laptops to plug in their computers/devices. Laptop users use tend to take many of the spots. Oct 21, 2013 2:45 PM 169 More outlets for laptop use, if at all possible. Oct 21, 2013 2:36 PM 170 More dated book from recent years. Oct 21, 2013 2:25 PM 171 Longer hours, some of the lights on the desks do not work. Oct 21, 2013 2:23 PM 172 There are not enough seats that have access to power outlets for students to use PED's and Laptops. Oct 21, 2013 2:20 PM 173 more seatings and make it open on friday and saturday for longer hours. Oct 21, 2013 2:12 PM 174 more invidivial "quiet" study areas. Oct 21, 2013 2:11 PM 175 More tables Oct 21, 2013 1:51 PM 24 of 27 Page 4, Q5. How could the library be improved? 176 More class textbooks for rental Oct 21, 2013 1:42 PM 177 I haven't had a need that wasn't met. Oct 21, 2013 1:40 PM 178 More seating with outlets would be greatly appreciated. There are times where I need to do my online course and all the seats are taken and I am unable to charge my laptop to do my homework. Oct 21, 2013 1:37 PM 179 I am a distance student taking only online classes. I have not had a need to even access the library via the Internet. Oct 21, 2013 1:32 PM 180 N/A Oct 21, 2013 1:27 PM 181 Maybe by adding more computers. I have had to wait and I often do not have the time between classes to wait for a computer. Oct 21, 2013 1:24 PM 182 If you can have some up to date online resources on database or references for research . Some are over 10 years old. Oct 21, 2013 1:18 PM 183 If they can enforce the quiet rule in the study areas. Oct 21, 2013 1:14 PM 184 Having more copies of the various textbooks & allowing more time to review them. Oct 21, 2013 1:10 PM 185 not thing Oct 21, 2013 12:55 PM 186 none Oct 21, 2013 12:50 PM 187 having good staff. Oct 21, 2013 12:48 PM 188 Be more flexible in lending school textbooks and reference books. Oct 21, 2013 12:46 PM 189 I see no other need for improvement other than the lack of Wi-Fi for phone use, but that isn't encouraged I know. Oct 21, 2013 12:28 PM 190 More seating for studying. Oct 21, 2013 12:25 PM 191 allow at least 3 free copies per ID Oct 21, 2013 12:25 PM 192 More double seats Oct 21, 2013 12:20 PM 193 more computers and no charge for printing papers Oct 21, 2013 12:13 PM 194 wish it could be a little bigger so there could be more places to sit on busier days. Oct 21, 2013 12:13 PM 195 The high noise level continues to be ignored by both students and faculty. Personally I can not study in ares of high noise and that usually means that I am not the only one. Just by reminding students that the are they are using is being used by others, so be respectful of those other people. Oct 21, 2013 12:07 PM 196 more seating Oct 21, 2013 12:03 PM 197 After hours in the library for students who work during the day and have school Oct 21, 2013 11:58 AM 25 of 27 Page 4, Q5. How could the library be improved? at night. This can help them get access to the library. 198 As student I wouldn't change anything I would keep it the same Oct 21, 2013 11:56 AM 199 the library can use additional seating along with extended hours. Oct 21, 2013 11:32 AM 200 By being a little lien-ant with student id cards. I think a student should be able to use the library with a California identification card as well. Oct 21, 2013 11:29 AM 201 more books newer and more study areas Oct 21, 2013 11:25 AM 202 There are no areas that need major improvement. Oct 21, 2013 11:25 AM 203 Hours were not that good, especially for someone like me, who had evening classes after work, but could not attend the library to get what I needed because it closed an hour before I got out. Oct 21, 2013 11:23 AM 204 cheaper printing. Oct 21, 2013 11:22 AM 205 More seating areas with tables (for personal computers, studying, reading, etc.) Oct 21, 2013 11:16 AM 206 Open earlier like at 6:30am. Oct 21, 2013 11:15 AM 207 N/a Oct 21, 2013 11:11 AM 208 Keep up with the great work Oct 21, 2013 11:07 AM 209 The library should have single person study rooms available as well. Oct 21, 2013 11:07 AM 210 Extra books for students Oct 21, 2013 11:06 AM 211 have more desk for students Oct 21, 2013 11:05 AM 212 Have more seating because it's crowded all the time. Oct 21, 2013 11:03 AM 213 More seating and the about ability to spend more time on the computers to complete assignments Oct 21, 2013 10:56 AM 214 Everything's great! Oct 21, 2013 10:56 AM 215 No improvements Oct 21, 2013 10:52 AM 216 Add more outlets for charging laptops Oct 21, 2013 10:34 AM 217 The library could be improved by having more children's books for those in the child development area. Oct 21, 2013 10:33 AM 218 Longer hours and much longer weekend hours Oct 21, 2013 10:32 AM 219 Put a couple of more printers and scanners. Have some of the librarians be friendlier. Oct 21, 2013 10:31 AM 220 I think perhaps stricter enforcement of silence. Sometimes there are people listening to their music too loudly or talking too loudly and it's distracting Oct 21, 2013 10:31 AM 26 of 27 Page 4, Q5. How could the library be improved? 221 Hours of operation for weekends should be extended. Oct 21, 2013 10:27 AM 222 having updated textbooks and more copies of the textbooks Oct 21, 2013 10:26 AM 223 n/a Oct 21, 2013 10:21 AM 224 It would be convenient to have the library open for students who have a 6:30 am class to have the library open to print out papers. If that is their only access to a printer. Oct 21, 2013 10:10 AM 225 Longer weekend hours and Friday hours Oct 21, 2013 10:04 AM 226 More seats for studying Oct 21, 2013 10:00 AM 227 The library is a great, standard library. A few more printers and photocopy machines will be useful. Oct 21, 2013 9:59 AM 228 It could be improved by just adding more seats. Oct 21, 2013 9:58 AM 229 Everything is awesome Oct 21, 2013 9:58 AM 27 of 27
