Well, exactly. Yet before you said that you wish they'd have better things to do with their time (instead of "MOLE-stalking"). So I got confused. I think if they do check up on people via online resources then that's good. After all, not everyone's great at adjusting to new situations (academic or otherwise).(Original post by mollymustard)
They don't approach you and see if you are okay! So they can check up on whether or not people are using resources properly. I can't see it as such a bad thing!

I think it could be - and it also happens when somebody accidently leaves a book, usb stick etc behind.
But yes, they do track how much you use the IC and MOLE as well. Tutors can actually access the records I have been told. Might be myth though...?
Also whether someone has been into the library is less relevant these days given how much is avaliable remotely. I've only taken out about 5 books so far (on a taught postgrad course) mainly used electronic resources.Last edited by happydinosaur; 28-12-2010 at 19:47. -

Well, the library is part of the University, so they can give out whatever information they want (as it's all internal)

If you bring a duvet and are in pyjamas they will announce over the tannoy that "students are reminded that the IC is not for sleeping, please get up" and then they will take away your Ucard and not let you have it back until you leave. Fact.

You are allowed pyjamas thoughI've seen a few girls go in them and felt a bit jealous when it got to 2am. Probably wouldn't do it myself though!

I've never heard a tannoy announcement that I can remember, which probably shows how little time I spend there. I really don't like the atmosphere of the IC, but I know people who say they work better there than anywhere else. I guess it's personal preference.
I've also managed to make it half way through my English Lit degree without taking a book out of any library.Now I'm slightly worried that my tutors may be aware of this!

But I suppose they don't know if you've read and made notes from a book without taking it out.

But then again I know a lot of people who prefer St George's because it's quieter...I can see what they mean, the IC gets stupidly busy -

I love the IC and I work really well there, I think it's mainly because I look around and everyone is working and so it makes me want to work too. Also I'm really nosy and always have a nose at what people are doing, watching somebody do some really complex maths always makes me want to kick my ass into gear!
But then again I know a lot of people who prefer St George's because it's quieter...I can see what they mean, the IC gets stupidly busyIt means I don't have to cart everything to the library (I always forget something vital anyway), can lounge about however I like, eat as loudly as I like, spread my papers out everywhere, talk to myself, etc etc. However I seem to be in the minority - most of my friends go to the IC or Western Bank to concentrate better.
