Comment: It would be helpful to have a larger trash can on the wall outside the copy room.
Response: Thank you for the suggestion. After you pointed it out, we too noticed how full that trashcan can get at the end of the day. We have placed a second trashcan there for student use. We did notice that many of the items in there are plastic bottles. What could also help with the overflow of trash is to place the plastic bottles and aluminium cans in the recycle bin at the entrance of the library. Thank you!

Library Hours
Comment: Please open earlier, maybe 7:30? Classes start at 7:45 and there are a lot of students who need the library to print. There is always a line in the mornings and someone at the front desk, so I don't see the issue with opening the doors 15 minutes earlier. Thanks.
Response Update: The library staff has an opening procedure that must be completed before we can let people in. The staff you see in there before we open arrive early in order to complete this procedure. If we brought them in to do this even earlier, they would have to leave earlier, which means we'd have a shortage of staff to run the desk for about 30 minutes (until the evening shift arrives). This would happen at one of the busiest times in our day.
In chatting to the Learning Center staff about this issue, the Learning Center Director said that if her staff members are there early, they will go ahead and unlock for students needing to print early, so you might try going upstairs.
Please remember that it's dangerous to assume that you'll be able to come to any computer lab on campus and print something that is due in the next 5 or 10 minutes. If the print system or computers are down, as has occasionally happened in the past, you are up a creek. It's not an excuse that instructors usually accept.

American Chemical Society Study Guides
Suggestion: Would it be possible to get the ACS (American Chemical Society) study guides for the ACS test (all chemistry students are required to take this test as 20% of their final grade) in the reserve stacks?
Response: Thank you for the suggestion! We have placed an order for three copies of the study guides for the Bryan campus and one for the Brenham campus, all of which will be placed on reserve. As soon as the books arrive we will update this post with a comment to let you know they have arrived.
Update: These books are in & are now on reserve at the Bryan campus. You can see if they are in through this link to our catalog: http://trexel.blinn.edu:8080/lib/item?id=chamo:258445&theme=blinn

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.
