Printing in the Library

Suggestion: Get more printing computers

Response: Unfortunately at the Bryan Campus Library we do frequently run at capacity when it comes to computer use. There are other spots on campus you can print from as well that are always underutilized. The Learning Center on the 2nd floor of the Bryan Campus Library Building always has computers available for student use and printing. And you can always check the open computer lab in Room 225 of the H building.

Staple Removers

Suggestion: Could we have a staple remover in the copier room?

Response: In the past we have had staple removers in the copy room. It is possible that it was accidentally removed. I have requested that we order some new staple removers for the copy room.

Copy Machine Instructions

Suggestion: Let's make some detailed instructions for those who aren't familiar with the copiers

Response: This is a great idea, thank you. Actually the Library Technical Assistants are working on creating detailed instructions on how to use and operate the copy machines that can be posted in the copy room. We hope to have them out soon.

Update: The copier instructions have now been posted in the Bryan Campus Library copier room. Thank you for the suggestion!

Copiers

Suggestion: The copy machines should take debit cards

Response:   This is an excellent idea, thank you. We have forwarded this suggestion to Blinn's Purchasing Department.

Suggestion from a Bryan Campus student:

I like to study in the quiet area but the tables are always taken. I'd suggest switching to smaller tables (maybe with 2 seats instead of 4) because there's usually only 1 person to a table and everyone wants to study privately. I'd also suggest more of those private cubicle desks that are along the far left wall.

Response:

Every seat at every table is often taken during the busiest times of the day. We are just too small for the number of students who attend at the Bryan Campus. We have taken pictures to document the problem and hope we can add space at some point in the future. Until then, feel free to sit at any table – other people sitting at a table should not keep you from studying quietly at the same table. Please tell a library staff member at the service desk if anyone is not respecting the quiet study environment on that side of the library.

We also like the individual study carrels, but won't be able to add more or change tables while budgets are so tight. If we have the opportunity to add space or renovate, we'll push for more private seating like this, as long as it doesn't reduce our total seating capacity.

Request for binder stickers

Suggestion: Maybe some stickers to write on and stick it on a binder

Response: While we are able to provide services such as staplers, whole punchers, paper clips for our students to utilize at the library, unfortunately we can not accommodate requests for specific school type supplies such as sticky notes and sticker for binders. While we appreciate the request, if you need specific materials to complete a project we can recommend checking out the bookstore or any local office supply store these types of items.

Book and Graphic novel request

Suggestion: Locke and Key vol 4. You have 1 2 and 3, but haven't got the latest. Also the Walking Dead Omnibus 2, there is a twelve issue gap between the books you already have.

Response: Thank you so much for bringing the missing issues and volumes to our attention. I checked our records and we have not yet ordered Locke and Key volume 4, so I have placed a request for this book to be added to both the Brenham and Bryan library collections. I also took a look and figured out the volumes we were missing for The Walking Dead and placed an order for those as well. It looks like the newest volume of The Walking Dead will be released in October of this year, so I have requested for that the be added as well. Thank you for bringing the gap in our collection to our attention, as sometimes things like this can get overlooked. It appears as though we purchased two versions of The Walking Dead graphic novels (the Volumes and the Omnibus) and while at first glance it appeared as though we bought the series in order, the omnibus collection has a different number of issues in each book which resulted in the gap that you noticed between volume one and Omnibus volume 3. I hope you enjoy these materials when they arrive. I will make to to post an update to this posting when the materials arrive at the library.

Update: Locke and Key Number 4 has arrived and is ready to be checked out. Please check the catalog for availbility.

Update: The missing Walking Dead Graphic Novels have now arrived!! Please check the catalog for availbility
