RE: Wordprocessing versus Facebook on Computers

Thanks for your comment. We understand your frustration and you're not the first to express it. There are certainly not enough PCs on campus for all students to have access when they need to use one.

The PCs in the Library are primarily intended for research purposes, but they are, of course, used for many reasons. We respect our students' privacy and do not monitor the activity on their computer screens. Some faculty and even the College itself use Facebook and Twitter to communicate with students, so students on Facebook may very well be engaged in College-related work.

The Library is generally quiet on weekdays before 10 am and after 6:30 pm, as well as on Saturdays. You'll be more likely to find a free PC at these times. Computer labs are also available for student use when not booked for classes on the 5th and 6th floors at the New Westminster campus and on the 2nd floor at the David Lam campus. We hope you'll find some of these options useful.

  1. you can also borrow a laptop computer from the [Audio Visual Desk] in the library. You can use the wireless network to email yourself a copy of your work.
