Take a Break – Don’t Take the Mick http://blogs.exeter.ac.uk/librarynews/blog/2018/05/09/take-a-break-dont-take-the-mick/ http://blogs.exeter.ac.uk/librarynews/blog/2018/05/09/take-a-break-dont-take-the-mick/#respond Wed, 09 May 2018 10:58:23 +0000 http://blogs.exeter.ac.uk/librarynews/?p=3247 We know that the Forum Library can get very busy during peak times of day, especially as deadlines or exams approach. You’ve told us that it causes problems when other Library users take up more than one space or “save seats” by leaving their belongings and then going away.

In response, we worked closely with the Student’s Guild Representatives and with individual students to come up with guidelines for using study seats in our Library spaces.

 

What to do:

When taking a break of up to 45 minutes: please always leave a card, fill in the time you left and be sure to return on time.

If you will be gone longer than 45 minutes: please clear your desk so that others can use the space.

Remember the Library is a public space! Never leave valuables unattended; always take them with you.

If you find a desk that has been left unattended for over 45 minutes then you have permission to move any belongings to the side and use the space.

Each card can be reused multiple times. 

 

 

This is a student-led scheme. Let’s work together to uphold these guidelines and make the most of shared library spaces.

Within the resource, you can access a range of support materials to help navigate the new interface. Simply select the ‘Options’ tab at the top of the page, and choose ‘Help’.

Magic and the Muse – Magic Lantern Spectacle http://blogs.exeter.ac.uk/librarynews/blog/2018/01/09/magic-and-the-muse-magic-lantern-spectacle/ http://blogs.exeter.ac.uk/librarynews/blog/2018/01/09/magic-and-the-muse-magic-lantern-spectacle/#respond Tue, 09 Jan 2018 10:32:12 +0000 http://blogs.exeter.ac.uk/librarynews/?p=3201 Artemis Willis Poster Design: Vicki Bowring

Since 2015 the University of Exeter has been a leading partner in the ‘Million Pictures’ European research project investigating the history and usage of magic lantern slides in educational contexts, coordinated in the UK by Professor Joe Kember of the English Department.

As part of the impact of this innovative and successful project, the public are now offered a rare opportunity to experience a spectacular magic lantern event in a public city-centre venue.

Magic and the Muse, a magic lantern spectacle, will take place on the evening of 12 January at the Barnfield Theatre, Exeter. Both original and specially-created lantern slides will be shown and a genuine Victorian triple lantern will be used. The lantern show will be accompanied by live music, creating a fantastic combination of music, performance and projection, including a rare demonstration of projection onto a ‘living screen’.
