Have Your Say

The DIT Library Survey is running from now until the end of November.

Your responses will help us identify our current successes and shortcomings - so we can develop services to match user needs.

The questions should take just a few minutes to complete. And there is a prize draw for all surveys completed.

A high response rate would be appreciated.

Improving Connectivity.

A total of 52 sockets were repaired at the circular laptop tables in the past week. There are still a number (apx 11) out of order and we hope to have these repaired shortly. We will continue to monitor the situation to ensure the maximum number of working sockets. Please assist us by letting us know of any sockets, or other library equipment, not working.
