Strange world...

Actual conversation.......very surreal.....

Patron: "Where can I get a student card?"
Library Staff: "At student services where you enrolled."
Patron: "I need it for photo ID."
Library Staff: "The staff at admin will supply you with a card."
Patron: "I'm not enrolled, I just need the card for ID."
Library Staff: "Umm, you actually need to be a student to receive a student card."
Patron: "But I need one for ID".
Library Staff: "If you are over 18 you can apply for an ID card from the police station."
Patron: "Oh well, if I can't get a student card, I'll try that...." He leaves...
Library staff have to sit down for a while to recover....

Flexible no more....

The "Flexible Learning Centre", which was a computer lab attached to our library building, has had a name change and has become 'inflexible' (sorry :-).
It is now the TAFE "IT Lab". (Classroom for Business studies etc.)

The lab's original concept was as a flexible computer lab for the university students (any level) to use outside class time. The classroom squeeze owing to a greater intake of University students, the possiblity of the TAFE section seceding from the uni, the higher numbers in the High school (owing to the raising of the school leaving age in our State), has made for some interesting shuffles around the campus.

I can see that this will lead to a greater number of student using the library for computer access this year. We are having a bit of a shuffle ourselves, not new computer numbers, but hopefully a better layout for future use.
