    Here you go, UCD Library


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,567 ✭✭✭delta_bravo


    The answer is yes.

    I'm not sure why people waste their time with those Let me google sites. It was a simple question that needed a simple answer. Done.

    I think it's more to highlight the genuine simplicity in finding some answers. Not an attack on the OP, but if the same effort as typing this thread was put into a google search, the answer would be obtained significantly quicker.

    The let me google that for you sites make me want to put my fist through the screen! It's a genuine question - the UCD Library site isn't the best laid out so it isn't surprising that it isn't immediately obvious what time it is open on a Bank Holiday.

    You could answer the question about 4 times in the time it takes to go to the LMGTFY website, type in what you want and then link it in a post.

    Could the mod sticky a thread with the opening and closing times (contributed by users of course) of the buildings in UCD (Library, Science Block, Arts, Daedalus etc...). Might be useful.

    It's a genuine question - the UCD Library site isn't the best laid out so it isn't surprising that it isn't immediately obvious what time it is open on a Bank Holiday.

    On the Homepage of the Library site there's a picture of a clock at the top of the page with the words 'Opening Hours' beside it. If you follow the link it gives you info about the library's regular opening hours, as well as special arrangements for the Bank Holiday weekend.

    I don't see how that could be more clearly laid out. Smacks of laziness on the part of the OP.

    It's 10:58am, and the queue for library opening at 11:00am is stretching all the way down the stairs, past the SU shop and back again. I don't think I'm going to get to a UCD computer today ... :o

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    In fairness to the Let Me Google guy, it is annoying to have so many very easily answered questions as the subject of threads here.

    Edit: That being said you could easily answer the question and then say "You do know that in future, you can blah, blah, blah"

    I hope that's not the case for tomorrow at 9! There's no way I'm going in any earlier than 9 and I need a plug ,thanks to my prehistoric laptop battery :eek:

    It will be only get worse in JJ as the week goes on.

    As for the my first post, OP seemed to like it, and isn't that all that really matters...

    Ah! So the annual FINDTHEWORKINGSOCKET competition is afoot in the library.

    Or to give it its full title:

    Find the free, working socket that won't incur a fine from librocop, and can be used without having to crouch under someone's desk/stand in corridor.

    It's four floors of fun!

    Bring an extension lead, and ask the lovely people do they mind if you plug out theirs, and pop it into to extension lead.

    Also great if you wanna add in puns about plugging someone, to an attractive girl. If you're into that sort of thing.

    If you can take out any book(s) you need, you might be better off studying in a different building. The top floor of the Health Sciences Library is also a great place for laptops - plenty of power sockets - though I haven't been in there this week. There were lots of free computers in Daedalus today, and no classes on. The main Library has to be the most unpleasant place on campus this week, I think ...
