Research
It seems the university is heading towards establishing an interest in its students in research, nearly every client I talk to is engaged in discovering "methodology", "research Proposals",and "literature reviews".....

The library is very busy, with clients waiting for computers now a regular thing.

We still have our share of classic questions:
"My lecturer had a book in his hands that had all the tutorial answers in it can I borrow it please...it had the reserve stickers on it and it was yellow...???"
"Will my student card work in the photocopier?"
"Why can't I exit the emergency door?"
"Why has the security guard got his arm in a sling? " (Pub brawl...he lost.)

At the moment our biggest users are the groups of students using the wireless network (Yes it has been working great now for a few months!!!) on the new tables at the back of the library. We regularly fill out all six of the big tables with clients logged on...
