1. Reg is OK though I am disappointed they did away with
displaying new acquisitions on a special bookshelf. Browsing is an
important part of a library's function and this has been taken away
at the Reg
2. Furthermore, we should have more interlibrary loan opportunities
other than with Northwestern.
3. It is always weird walking into Regestein and not being able to
find a map anywhere
4. It would be nice to know if employee spouses are entitled to use
the library.
5. I know students can use the computer lab in the basement of
Crerar but can the staff use it? I ask because there are times my
home computer is not working or I need a more owerful computer and
it would be nice to be able to use the ones in Crerar. I would be
willing to pay as you would in an internet cafe.
6. please consider adding a drop box and a place where one can
return books without having to go into the library and through the
ID turntables. It would make life so much easier.
7. There should be more econ tutors available in harper on a daily
basis, for the amount of econ majors there are at this school one
simply is not enough. Seriously, it ruins my life
8. Perhaps access to libraries of neighborhood universities for
grad students would be desirable? Sometimes one needs just one
article to look through, and using ILL is not the most convenient
option. Or if one needs to browse a few issues.
9. It would be nice to have access to journal articles from home
directly from search pages like Pubmed. When I'm at home I need to
search the articles using pubmed and then access individual
journals via lib.uchicago.edu.
10. There needs to be an all-night group study space. No one
appreciates getting kicked out of Crerar study rooms by having a
security guard call the police--its absurd.
11. One complain I have is when I request an article that is not
available on campus, I can't get it as a pdf (or any electric form)
with a link contained in a notification email.
12. it is difficult to get help from Univ of Chicago since no-one
is available after hours or on the weekends
13. The fact that microfilm and audio recordings are basically only
available on weekday afternoons is a constant annoyance.
