Morris Miller Library and Launceston Campus Library will be offering IT support on Saturday and Sundays, 1 – 4 pm, starting this weekend – 16 August – for the next 3 weeks.
IT students will be roaming around the library so watch out for them and feel free to ask them for help.
How useful is this – we would love your comments please.
I am Ian Bollard and I have started an 18 month secondment as the AMC Librarian. I come to the AMC Library with a background of providing information and liaison services recently in the sciences at the Launceston Campus Library and previously in other disciplines such as business. In the darkest past I worked at the Bureau of Meteorology library in Melbourne. I hope to complete my studies in the Graduate Certificate in University Learning and Teaching this year. I am committed to improving the learning opportunities in information skills so staff and students can become independent researchers. I am keen to demonstrate the services and resources available to staff and students. It is an interesting fact that the AMC Library has the next largest number of loans behind the bigger libraries of the Launceston Campus and Morris Miller Libraries. If you are in the vicinity, please drop by the AMC Library and say hello to Michelle and Ian.
It’s exam time and we encourage students to take study breaks – get up from your desk, walk around, stretch, have a snack.
Good news!
Lazenbys on the Sandy Bay campus and the Coffee Shop in Launceston are trialling weekend opening:
Lazenbys will be open on Saturdays and Sundays for 3 weeks, starting this Saturday, 7 June, 11 am to 3 pm.
Launceston’s Coffee Shop will be open 8.30 am to 1.00 pm this Saturday and for the next two weeks. The Coffee Shop will also be open Monday, 9 June, which is a public holiday.
We hope your studies go well and we wish you luck in the exams.
Do you have any study tips you would like to share?
Morris Miller and Launceston Campus libraries extended opening hours as a pilot in 2008. On weekends, these libraries are open from 10am to 6pm during semester–that is, 3 hours earlier than last year and one hour later than in previous years. Also, for 2008 the libraries are open longer on public holidays.
More than 20-25% of weekend library visitors come during the extended hours…if this is you, please give us your comments.
Are longer hours better for your study or research schedule?
Did you use the library during the Easter Break or another public holiday?
