Well, it is that time of the year again where  Sydney Institute library staff get together to do a little learning themselves. So……

End of the year… almost

November 14th, 2011 Posted by mcarrolo in Hints & tips, Out there info | Post a Comment »

We are almost at the end of another year and the lead up to end of year assessments and assignments has begun. Some of us prefer to study quietly while others while others prefer to be in slightly less quieter spaces. At Ultimo TAFE library we endeavour to provide a variety of spaces for you to study. Level 2 is designed to be a quiet study area where you can study at individual study carrels you can use the centre space where there are larger tables.

We also have study rooms that you can book if you are working on say… a group presentation and you require a space where you can practice your presentation. You can access our new screens which enable you to plug in your laptop and view data on the larger screen.

Level 1 has a more relaxed atmosphere. It is a more vibrant environment where you can chat amongst your friends and study buddies. We ask though that you respect others around you so as to make visiting the library a more pleasant experience for everyone. We also have bean bag chairs, booths and study carrels (with PC access) as well as standard tables for you to use. You may not get any study or reading done if seated or lying down in one of our many fabulous bean bag chairs ZZZZZzzzzz

Ground floor is a whole floor dedicated to computer access. We ask that you keep noise here to a minimum as fellow students particularly at this time of year are working on final assessments

So good luck with your assessments

Here are some snapshots from the Ultimo TAFE Careers day that was held on the 15th of September. This was an opportunity for Ultimo TAFE to showcase the various career paths that are available to current and prospective students of the campus.
