ULM IT And Library Take Action On Noise Complaints

By Maren Williams, Coordinator of Reference

Recently we've seen some complaints about noisy late-night crowds in the 1st-floor computer lab area. The ULM Library and Information Technology (IT) are working on long-term strategies to address the issue. For now, please let us know at the time that it's happening! Go to the Circulation desk and ask to speak with night supervisor Dennis Pruden, or call the desk at 342-1063.

Long-term solutions are also in the works. We have rearranged and relocated some furniture in the lab area that tends to attract socializers rather than studiers. In the near future, IT will also add another lab on the 2nd floor, which will likely be quieter due to its distance from the POD. Additionally, smaller groups of computers were moved to floors 3, 4, and 5, so there will be plenty of options for those needing  quiet. Floors 4 and 5 are designated quiet floors and computers can be found on the bayou side. Also, new signage is on the way for placement around the elevators and the general area where the computers are located.
