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.
