User Perception
“If the Library didn’t have books, I wouldn’t come…It’s not a real Library without books”
“I see the Library as the past – it’s not modern”
“An academic institution is academic books because that’s what the audience requires”
“I come the Library to chill out and relax. It’s the only real option consistently here”

“It makes me feel like there is such a diverse range with so much going on. People are studying such incredible things, it’s a hub of academic intelligence, I love it.”
“It’s nice to see your study and research contributing. It is a culmination of all our study efforts, everyone is working towards the same thing.”
“Before I saw this I didn’t think so many people used the library.”
“As a student in the arts faculty it makes me feel pretty important seeing our square being the biggest!”
“I am realising that online resources are much more vast than I thought they were.”
