How the Library Support system works

The library support system is for college members who

  • have library-related problems
  • want to donate books
  • wish to make requests.
The aim of the support system is for these enquiries to be dealt with efficiently.

One method of handling support requests would be through an email address that is shared by the student librarians. This would have the advantage that once a request has been dealt with by on librarian, the request could be deleted, and the other librarian(s) would not be troubled by it. However, the librarians would have to remember to log in to check for email, and this could become a hassle for them, especially in periods when no requests are coming through. We have therefore set up an alternative system using metaFAQ, integrated into the computer support system.
