Your Libraray is so spooky! I would never go there at night omigod!! The shelves are so close together in the stack it's claustrophobic!!! I could see them all falling over like dominoes! Scary!

Has anyone had anything scary happen in there, it's like a spook house!!! So dark and dingy and musty smelling...

Also, why doesn't it open until 1pm on Sunday grr! I got up early this morning to get there and it was closed and I had to walk all the way home again!

UTS Library is much nicer....

Fisher is a dump. The other libraries are much better.

Yeah but UTS needs keycard access and it's a bitch to obtain if you're not a student!

Keycard access is good.... it makes me feel priveledged because I can get in lol.

The undergrad part of Fisher is ok but all the books I need are always in the research part and it freaks me out.... is there security cameras in there? Cos it's so huge you could get mugged/bashed/bad stuff happen in there I reckon!

All you need is some form of ID and they give you a day pass...well thats what the security woman told me anyway.

Badham is down on Science Road and it deals with the Biological Sciences and Agriculture...


Out of every branch I would have to say that the Orange library is the one that annoys me most. At least with the Health Sciences library (at Lidcombe) I could get there and get a book within the day if needed.

heh, that must make you feel special... in with the maths library staff... jj

Last year a couple were caught screwing at the back of level 8 or something in the fisher stack. How romantic. Banged up against dusty metal shelving filled with such stimulating reading as Hemingway: A Life Story and Introduction To The Literature Of Europe In The Fifteenth, Sixteenth, And Seventeenth Centuries.

lol that true, that almost happened to me once. I got eaten by the train station barriers though, on the inside of my leg, it hurt >.<. I'm always cautious nowadays when I walk through them.

I was there last school holidays(Law students may remember some dude poking his head through the door at a tutorial) and i checked out the library, and i must say, that guy who sits at the desk where you enter freaked me out. I tried to go out the wrong way and he hovered over in his little chair and told me to use the other door. He was like something out of X men....... I think i saw keypad as well.....

If you think getting eaten by them on your leg hurts, try rotating 90 degrees to wave to someone and forgetting your still in the gates.......It defines pain, especially if youre male, and not to mention it was very embarrassing.
