Dear Students,
The study areas in our Library are provided for the shared use of all students to ensure that everyone has equal and fair access to these spaces.
Particularly during exam periods, we have observed that study spaces are being reserved for extended periods by leaving personal belongings such as bags, coats, books, and other items on desks. This makes it difficult for other students to find available study spaces.
We kindly ask you to observe the following rules regarding the use of library study areas:
-
Please do not reserve desks by leaving personal belongings on them. Desks are for individual use only while they are actually being occupied.
-
Please observe the 30-minute rule. If you need to leave your study area temporarily, you may retain your place for a maximum of 30 minutes. If you are away for longer than this period, the desk must be vacated and made available to other users.
-
Please do not reserve multiple desks or chairs. Do not leave your personal belongings on desks you are not using, thereby preventing others from making use of these spaces.
-
Please avoid leaving your personal belongings unattended.
Please remember that leaving personal belongings on a desk does not entitle you to reserve that study space for an extended period.
During busy periods, particularly around examination times, ensuring that all students can benefit equally and efficiently from the Library's study areas is only possible through mutual consideration and respect for shared-use rules.
As the Library is a shared space for all of us, we kindly ask you to be considerate of the rights of other students.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Kind regards,
Library and Documentation Directorate
