More PC's and facilities upgrade for Caulfield Library

Thirty-seven additional computers and an improved area for group study will be the result of the refurbishment currently underway in the flexible learning area on level 3 of Caulfield Library.

The refurbishment, now nearing completion, includes:

• upgraded facilities for laptop users, including access to the wireless network;
• an additional 37 computers to be installed on the east side of level 3;
• new, flexible furniture that can be shifted to suit study groups or situations;
• recarpeting and improved lighting; and
• installation of a group meeting room.

"Some of these improvements are complete and others will be finalised before students return for Semester two," said Caulfield Library manager, Robet Hornett.

It is anticipated that a further 30 computers will be installed on the west side of level 3 later in Semester 2.

"With so many more computers, students should experience a noticeable improvement to access," Mr Hornett said.

"In addition to this we are pleased to be able to provide postgraduates with an improved study environment, now that the twelve postgraduate rooms on level four have also had computers and new desks installed."

Refurbishment plans will bring the total number of computers for student use at Caulfield Library to 137 by the end of semester two.

"This is a significant increase when you take into account the fact that at this time last year there were only 58 computers in the library for students," Mr Hornett said.

The ongoing upgrade of facilities at Caulfield Library was initiated in response to campus growth and library users' feedback regarding facilities.

Caulfield Library Manager, Robet Hornett and library users enjoy level 3 refurbishments.
