LRC (Library) Newsletter Semester 1, 2020: Welcome

Hello one and all,

For the start of Semester 1, there are a few changes in the LRC about our facilities and services such as:

• LRC After-hours access - Students asked, we listened ... and it's happening ...

The Quiet Zone section within the LRC (Library) will be the dedicated space for our users to access computers, printing and photocopying services only, outside of the normal opening hours. This area will be un-staffed outside of the normal opening hours. Currently, there are some delays in opening the space for access.

For more up-to-date on the hours and information, visit the LRC Homepage.

• NO MORE FINES... what does it mean -
• No fines for overdue material. Instead, overdue items will attract demerit points for being late up to a threshold of 1000 points. 
• Any long-term overdue items and/or accrued demerit points over 1000 points will result in computer and network privileges being disabled (e.g. myWAI, Moodle, e-resource access on and off campus) and a SMS sanction being applied.
• Items which are never returned or are reported as lost will still attract fines i.e. the replacement cost of the item(s) plus an administrative fee.

• FICTION Collection - is now located in the Quiet Zone section. Any fiction suggestion is welcome and will be considered. Have a browse and you might find a gem ...

• The Journal and Magazine Collection - Most of the journals and magazines are now located in one spot in the middle of the LRC, so the WAI users can browse to their hearts' content.
