(Dec 13/08) There are not enough plugs near the cubicles and large desks in the middle of the first floor. Ive seen people bring extension cords so that they can get power from their desk. I unfortunately was not so smart and now Im stuck by a window desk which is freezing and less comfortable than the couches and tables near the middle of the floor. You need more electrical outlets. At least provide an outlet for the cubicles against the walls near the back of the first floor. Everything is done online so there is no reason why there is such a low amount of outlets within easy reach of seating. And people prefer using laptops for personal documents etc so telling them to go to the computer area is not solving the problem.
Library response: Thanks for your comment. We do realize how important it is for all of our users to be able to "plug-in" . We are working on adding more power outlets to these new areas and hope to have something in place early in the New Year. (Dec 15/08)
