last week attended a library tour. the library of glasgow uni. has 40-yr history,12-level and more than 2 million collections. Currently, this is the largest library in the europe.
to date, a lot of construction and expansion works carry out in the library. Each level divided into annexe and main parts, so we have to check the location properly before borrow any book, otherwise we can't find it.
something special (my humble opinions) between this uni's library and my previous one are the availability and type of reading rooms. Here, reading rooms are divided to silent, and non-silent, so non-silent reading rooms are for students having discussion, while silent one more suitable for those who want to do revision here. Furthermore, group discussion rooms also provided.
Another unique feacture is this library is a engery-saving building, means lights off in some area, and will open only when we go there.
actually the 12th floor is constructed recenlty, and it houses documents, collections before 18th century.
there's fire drill practice on the same day, and i was in the toilet that time, luckly it not frightened me..hehe
that's all for library tour, spent about an hour there. I have to come here more often, then only can get use to it..haha
