It was a busy few months for Library Facilities. Highlights include:
LC Extension 24/7 During Exams – Changes finished in May allowed all of LG1 to be opened overnight during exams.
Study Room Upgrades – All Group Study Rooms on LG3 and LG4 are being upgraded to the LC style, with new doors, a colorful wall, and HDMI connections.
Power Improvements – In addition to doing work to reduce the number of cables under the carpeting on LG1, many power sockets have been added to areas of LG1 and LG4.
There have also been some big changes to improve printing and copying:
- A second 3D Printer has been added to the 3D Room behind the Information Desk, doubling the number of 3D Print jobs which can be handled.
- The copiers on 1/F, LG3, LG4, and the one near Media on LG1 have been upgraded to networked machines for copying, printing, and scanning.
- All Library copiers/printers now use a new Octopus reader with more capability.
- The default for network printing in the Library is now duplex (printed on both sides).
- The second side of each page of a duplex print job will cost you less money!
In addition to Summer projects listed above, the following efforts are in the works: A new entry gate system will be installed at the Library main entrance on G/F; in coordination with UCEO, the next round of student artworks are being installed as part of the Art Dimensions project; and we're still working to modify terrace doors to reduce wind problems.
We are always looking for ways to make the physical space of the Library better for you, and more effective for education and learning. Please send us your ideas and suggestions, along with your praise and complaints, at library@ust.hk. |
