Multimedia on Q+3

The new Multimedia area will be on the North East side of the floor (older section).
The furniture has arrived and will be assembled and fixed in position over the coming days. We will have 21 desks/booths, 9 of which will be doubles. In terms of equipment, 19 of the booths will have 26” Bravia LCD TVs, 19 will have Dell PCs, 3 to have Blu-ray, 7 to have multiregional DVD (HDMI), 9 to have multiregional DVD/VCR combis. 2 of the booths will have the old audio equipment (for cassette, records). The new area should be ready to use in late January/early February.

A-V Material in Open Reserve

DVDs and videos that are in high demand can now be placed in the 'Open Reserve' area on the Q floor of the Library. Material held there can be borrowed for up to 4 hours using the self issue/self return unit there. This means that students can access those materials any time the Library is open, not just during service hours.
