Research students: have your say: give your views on Library behaviour

The Library is reviewing its policies on user behaviour and we're keen to hear from research students about this. Should we allow more food and drink? What do you think about noise? We'd like to hear your views so please email me if you would like to attend a focus group about library behaviour on Thursday 3rd December at 10 am.
