“School should have security camera in the Library.” 

We will pass along your request to the business office. 



Comment-
“Ever think of checking out mics?  Students are in need,…please consider”


The Library does have one microphone and just added another. Please ask at the Circulation Desk.

Comment-
“A service where students can check out a computer mouse”


We will look into seeing if we can get a couple of mice for check out.

Comment-
“I would like to see the 2nd floor “quiet area” enforced.  I need to use the Library to study and it is unbelievable the noise level that is allowed.  When I use the USF Library it is silent or at least very quiet as it should be in a library.  There are plenty of social areas on campus.  Social time needs to be out of the Library.”



Thank you for bringing this to our attention. 

We make every attempt to control the noise level when we realize it is too loud, and will endeavor to be more aware of when we need to ask people to be quiet.

We have increased our signage upstairs and downstairs indicating group work should be done on the 1st floor and ‘quiet’ individual work should be done on the 2nd floor.

We will also conduct more ‘walk throughs’ to enforce the quiet area.

Please notify the staff if you feel it is too noisy.


Comment-
“I would like to see the second floor also know as the ‘quiet area’ actually enforced to be quiet.  I come up here everyday to study and people are always talking loudly, listening to loud music (not being courteous).  I have complained numerous times and nothing changes.  I hope rules can be enforced for this.


This was concern for several people this week and we will work to better inform students of the rules.
