Computer cleanliness

You said:  Please clean the computers more often.

Yes, we plan to do a better job with this!  Because the computers are heavily used it's hard to get to them to clean. But we'll schedule times to clean when we're less busy.

Quiet Study Areas

You said:  I have trouble finding a quiet place to study in Jackson Library

Floors 6-9 in Jackson Library are quiet areas. We have put new furniture on 7,8 & 9 this year. See some examples here!

And, you can reserve a small study room (also pictured) on floors 2, 5, 6 and 7 for up to two hours at a time. On this web page they are the "small study rooms w/ PCs" and the "small study rooms w/o PCs.

If there is too much noise on a quiet floor you may chat with a staff member or call (336-334-5304) or report it to the Check Out Desk on the 1st floor.

Vending Machines in Jackson Library

You asked:  The new vending machines are great but too expensive.

We hear you! But, the Library doesn't set the prices. Vending with UNCG Campus Enterprises provides and maintains the vending machines. You may contact them at vending@uncg.edu or 336-334-3620.

Study Rooms with Big Screens

You asked:  What happened to the private rooms with the big screens?  We miss them!

We're so glad you find these rooms useful!  There are still several rooms with large screens throughout Jackson Library.  This web page provides information about all of them.

The ones with large screens are included in "Jackson Tower, Large Group Spaces," "Jackson Tower, Medium Group Spaces" and "Jackson Lower Level -- DMC Medium Group Spaces."

When you click through the reservation form you'll find which ones have screens.

New DVD releases

You said:  It used to be easier to find the list of new DVD releases.

This list is on a blog.  These blogs rotate on the Libraries' home page and you can access this list at any time to find the new additions to our DVD collection.

Enjoy the free entertainment from the Libraries!

Spartan Card Machine

You said:  Please fix the "done" button on the Spartan Card machine in Jackson Library.

Yay - the fill station has been fixed!!

Additional methods for putting money on your card are here. 

Coffee Shop

You asked:  We should have a coffee area.

We would LOVE to have a coffee shop in Jackson Library!  Unfortunately at this time we're not able to build one.  The nearby options include the Starbucks in EUC.  There are also vending machines in the basement of the Tower that offer cold coffee drinks as well as soft drinks.  These machines are available all hours the Library is open including 24/5.

Printing

You asked:  Can the Libraries offer free or cheaper printing?


Because the Libraries also serve the general public we are not able to offer free printing like the labs on campus do.

Our printing fees are set by UNCG's Information Technology Services and we need to follow them

Many of our resources let you download or email items and you can then print in a lab or on your personal printer.

The libraries have scanners in both Jackson and Schiffman Libraries.  Scans may be sent to your phone, a flash drive or email.

Please be sure to ask a staff member about printing and scanning.  And anything else!
